Who we are

Welcome to the First Unitarian Church of Alton!

Our Mission

Outward Reaching ~ Inward Seeking

We are creating and nurturing an intentional community that values acceptance, social justice, and the embodiment of UU principles. Come, let us question together.

Our Vision

Inclusivity: We welcome, create & sustain a diverse community of belief that finds its identity in shared UU principles.

Communication: We share our mission and activities well in a variety of formats within and outside our church community.

Education: We learn and teach at all ages and provide space for spiritual and community growth.

Social Justice: We work for social justice in Alton and beyond.

Celebration: We embrace and celebrate our community and our world.

Our H.E.R.E. Covenant

To strengthen and nurture our Welcoming community, with love, compassion and respect, we covenant together to:

Honor and make space for our diversity; respect our volunteers, leaders and staff by supporting balance in their lives and in their personal and professional pursuits

Encourage each member to develop a personal spiritual practice that cultivates honesty and acceptance

Remembering our humanness, we acknowledge our imperfection and extend forgiveness to ourselves and others.

Engage within our own and the larger community with integrity by taking responsibility for our actions, facilitating right relationships, and living into the journey.

Our Services

We hold Sunday services in an historic sanctuary which is one of the loveliest and most inspiring places in Alton. We sing hymns, read words of prophetic people, honor milestones, share joys and concerns, and hear a message from our minister or a guest speaker. The church offers many other activities as well, and we invite you to attend any that interest you. For more details check out church this week, our monthly newsletter or our church calendar.

Our Principles

We welcome people of many backgrounds and beliefs. Rather than saying things we may not believe, or believing things we cannot understand, we try to live our lives according to a set of shared Principles and Purposes developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).

Question: What denominaiton is First Unitarian Church?
Answer: First Unitarian Church belongs to Unitarian denomination.

The power of Christian prayer I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
