Our mission is to encourage diversity and mutual acceptance and to work for positive change in ourselves and our community.

We are committed to caring for each other, the city of New Bedford, and our global community. VISION
The First Unitarian Church in New Bedford enters its fourth century with a commitment to honor our past and sow the seeds of creative growth for the future. We envision a congregation in which we practice the principles of our faith. We seek to enjoy peaceful reflection and inspiration in intellectually and spiritually satisfying church services. We aim to embrace the people and efforts of our church community by supporting our children and their programs, our committees and their goals, our staff and their efforts on our behalf, and each other. We aim to help address the larger community’s challenges in such areas as racial, social, and economic justice; ecological sustainability; education; and support of the arts. We endeavor to reflect in our own growing numbers, the cultural and ethnic diversity of our area. We commit to enhancing our understanding and acceptance of the diverse religious expression present in our greater community, including reaching out to other faiths in mutual respect and with shared goals.

Thank you to SouthCoast Today's Peter Pereira for capturing the magic of this year's Witches' Ball.

New Bedford's First Unitarian Church was host to a bewitching night with the return of the Witches' Ball.

The Witches' Ball was a total blast last night! An enormous thanks to all the staff and volunteers who made it happen, the readers, musicians, and to all the folks who attended.

If you attended, we would love your feedback! Drop it in the comments.

Can't make it to the Witches' Ball, but still want to contribute to our fundraising efforts? Your contribution goes to supporting a long history of radicals, heretics, revolutionaries, abolitionists, and transcendentalists. We are an organization with boots on the ground, and we hope you will support our efforts in building the beloved community.
