Progressive Christians

Our worship life is centered on Judeo-Christian teachings, but we view scripture through the prism of human understanding and experience as well as valuing wisdom drawn from other faith traditions.

Non-credal

We do not adhere to a particular statement of faith or belief. We encourage each individual to shape his or her own faith and spiritual practice.

Autonomous

We are in relationship with our constituent denominations, but are self-governing.

Ecumenical

Since 1931, The First Parish of Bolton has brought together people from many different religious traditions. We are currently affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), United Church of Christ (UCC), the American Baptist Churches (ABC), and have Quaker roots. 

Welcoming

Our doors are open to all generations of families, to children and parents, to single men and women, to seniors, to the physically challenged, to members of the LGBTQ+ community, to those who have economic advantages, and to those who do not.

Generous

Church members support the life and work of our community by sharing their time and gifts and through generous and sustained giving.

Committed to community

Set among towns that are growing rapidly, we nurture the connections between people that create community.dd
