Did you know that Beverly’s First Parish is home to the first Sunday School in New England? We are honored to have this historic significance, and proud to continue and innovate the tradition of Faith Development.

As Unitarian Universalists, we believe in the value of lifelong religious education and spiritual growth among a community of caring hearts, helping hands, and open minds. That’s why our Faith Development programming has opportunities for people of all ages.

All of our youth-oriented programs are primarily focused on building meaningful interpersonal connection. 

As the world has shifted away from in-person gatherings, regular church attendance, and Sunday ‘rest’, we aim to create fluid, adaptive gatherings that have an open-door policy, encouraging engagement when possible and honoring the complexities of modern life.
