FirstU is a lively, multi-generational congregation of passionate people who care about their world and the overlapping communities they're part of.
You'll find us marching at Capital Pride, conducting shoreline clean-ups along the edge of the Ottawa River where our Campus is located, fundraising for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, sponsoring refugees, hosting tree give-aways, and sharing our campus with low income and seniors' housing, childcare, Or Haneshema, and the Ajashki food security initiative.

Sundays and beyond - spirituality at firstu

At FirstU, we share our vibrant, living Unitarian Universalist culture in ways that are relevant to current and future generations.

We encourage and support each other in striving towards social and environmental justice by respecting the interdependence of all existence.

"We acknowledge that our campus is located on traditional, unsurrendered and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabeg Territory;
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.
