Adult Ministries at First Universalist seeks to support adults in the congregation in deepening their faith as Unitarian Universalists, grapple with the big questions in life, build deeper connections and relationships in the congregation, and develop the capacity to act on our faith in the world. We do this through small groups, classes on a wide variety of topics, and special events. Our groups are led by a combination of staff and/or trained lay-leaders.
