Since July, 2007, First Parish Chelmsford has been recognized by the UUA as a Welcoming Congregation. This means we affirm and welcome people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer at every level of congregational life.
We have an ongoing Welcoming Congregation Committee to offer programs, alert the congregation to legislative initiatives that provide the opportunity to express our support of LGBTQ+ persons to legislators, and communicate with the appropriate church committees. The Committee meets the second Sunday of the month during the church year (September-June). If you are interested in joining this ministry please contact one of our co-chairs.
