First Unitarian Church of Omaha

Information may not be reliable

The First Unitarian Church of Omaha has offered a unique approach to religion emphasizing the freedom to explore various spiritual paths, tolerance for diverse ideas, and the use of reason in religion, since its founding in 1869 . We see the religious community as a place that will not lay down rigid rules, but instead invites you into a dialogue about the meaning of your life and about your relationship with others, with our planet, and with the mystery that lies beyond and within.
We explore various religious traditions for their wisdom – not only the Jewish and Christian sources but also the world religions. In addition, we learn from the natural world, science, literature, and the great minds and inspiring individuals of past and present.
In a community of young and old, gay and straight, from various cultural and racial backgrounds, we seek to make this world a better place for all.
We seek to be a place where people can find respite from their busy lives to explore the deeper questions of living. We seek to be a place which offers opportunity for service. We seek to be a place where people can come together to support one another in our life journeys, to heal life’s wounds and celebrate our joys.
You are warmly invited to visit The First Unitarian Church. See you on Sunday!

Join Us for Sunday Services at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.
We offer two Sunday Services ("eclectic" at 9:30 a.m. and "traditional" at 11:15 a.m.). Sunday Services are followed by our traditional coffee hour in the Common Room, our church social hall. Except in the summer, children grades K-6 attend Sunday School following "The Story for All Ages" which occurs early in the service. Child care is provided in the nursery for infants and pre-school children.
Dress comfortably. Free parking is available in the lot west of the Church.
Governance Task Force
The Board of Trustees has established a task force to consider how we might improve our governance processes and organization. Check out the GTF Web Page to learn more about their assignment.

On Sundays, we reserve our parking lot immediately next to the church to accommodate the handicapped, anyone else who needs to park near the building, and visitors to our service. We ask that all others use the nearby free parking that is readily available thanks to our neighbors National Indemnity Company and Mutual of Omaha.

Standing on the Side of Love is a public advocacy campaign that seeks to harness love’s power to stop oppression. It is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association and all are welcomed to join.

Too much of our public discourse is driven not by love, but by fear, which often scapegoats particular people and deems them somehow less than human. This is a violation of all faiths which are centered in love. This campaign seeks to harness the power of love to stop oppression, exclusion, and violence.

Our Reason for Being
First Unitarian Church of Omaha strives to be a diverse, liberal religious community with a tradition of open-mindedness and tolerance. We promote spiritual growth, social justice, and service to those in need in order to effect positive change in our society and in ourselves.
