Because of this, we are uniquely non-credal but emphasize our shared values. We believe many religious traditions are worthy of exploration as part of the individual search for truth and meaning. We are rooted in the Jewish and Christian traditions, but also seek inspiration through other great world religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. We find insight in science, culture and literature as well. Sunday Services at First Parish provide a blend of music and the spoken word for young and old.
Music is an important part of our worship.
Our congregation singing, adult and youth choirs and musicians infuse the celebrations with the excitement and depth of classical, jazz and popular music. Our History We are proud of our church's history. The original congregation was formed in 1746 when the community of the North Ward of Westborough decided to form their own town and call their own minister. In 1808, the second Meeting House was erected on this hill, an example of colonial architecture matched by few. Our current building is the third Meeting House on this site, a reproduction of the previous building that had been tragically destroyed by a Christmas-time fire in 1945.
