Getting involved is easy!

Getting more involved in congregational life is a great way to deepen your social and spiritual connections to your church community. Volunteering is also a way to exercise your skills as well as learn new ones. FirstU's groups, committees, and councils welcome new people who are interested in their activities and enthusiastic about making a contribution.
For group meeting times and other information, please consult the calendar or contact the church office at 613-725-1066. 
To see all of our groups and committees, read the Getting Connected Guide, or use the links below to explore everything your community has to offer.

caring for each other

As part of a community, we are all  responsible for supporting and helping members who are in need.  The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa has groups - including the Caring Network, the Mental Health Support and Action Group, and our Spiritual Care Visitors - who work to help us care for each other.
If you need to talk to someone from one these groups, please call the church office by email or at 613-725-1066.

and that the work of reconciliation is a responsibility of our congregation, and of all Canadians.  "Our goal is to educate ourselves and all
who have ears to hear, to be of service to those who are at risk, and to advocate for justice.
