Who We Are
Our church, its ministers, and its members have nourished the flame of liberal religion in Minneapolis for more than 150 years. We are numbered among the foremost Unitarian-Universalist congregations in the United States. We invite others of free faith and open mind to join us on our journey.
Our denomination: First Universalist is a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association and of the Prairie Star District. We were honored in 2011 for being among the congregations with the greatest numerical growth during the 2010-2011 year.
