Welcome to The First Religious Society in Carlisle

Welcome! We are a Unitarian Universalist Church, a Welcoming Congregation, located across from the Common in the center of Carlisle, Massachusetts.  The First Religious Society is a place of worship and fellowship dedicated to serving the spiritual and religious needs of all who choose to walk with us. We are active in serving the community and reaching out globally to those in need. We invite you to come and share with us. Our worship services and religious education classes are held at 10 o'clock on Sunday mornings.

The Covenant of the First Religious Society

Love is the doctrine of this church;The quest for truth is our sacrament;
And service is our prayer.To dwell together in peace;
To seek knowledge in freedom;To serve humanity in friendship;
To the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the Divine -
Thus do we covenant with each other and with God.
