Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for truth is its sacrament
and service is its prayer.
To dwell together in peace;
to seek knowledge in freedom;
to serve humanity in fellowship;
to the end that all souls shall grow into harmony
with the source and meaning of life;
thus do we covenant with each other and with All.
Everyone is welcome at First Universalist Church of Rochester. Please join us for our services, which are held each Sunday during the summer at 10 am.
