Welcome!

At First Parish of Sudbury we welcome all who wish to explore their own spiritual journeys in the company of others and any who are seeking a religiously liberal community of faith. Our ministry is for people of all ages: we are a religious community that combines spiritual exploration, religious education, music, caring and compassion, service, advocacy, public witness and action. Our community is not confined to Sunday worship, rather we live our faith in service and action both inside and beyond our historic meetinghouse. Please join us!

Discovering America, Once Again — Rev. Clyde Grubbs


In the fifteenth century Christian Europe asserted the right to conquer and subjugate the non-Christian peoples of Africa and the Americas.  Genocide and slavery left their scars on our nation's soul. Unitarian Universalists are preparing for Justice General Assembly in Phoenix, AZ.  What can we do to rediscover our Land, and build a nation of peace and justice?  Our guest minister today is the Reverend Clyde Grubbs who has served congregations in Indiana, Quebec, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and California.  He is presently serving as Minister at Large of the Tuckerman Creative Ministries for Justice and Healing.  In addition, he has been a member of the Diverse Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries (DRUMM) for eleven years and is a DRUMM co-president.  Clyde has served on the UUMA executive committee as its portfolio holder for Anti-racism, Anti-oppression and Multiculturalism.  He presently serves our Association as an at-large member of the UUA Board of Trustees.  Clyde honors his Native American heritage (Texas Cherokee) which informs his spiritual understanding and practice, and his anti-racist and anti-oppressive commitment.  He has worked for peace, justice and equality since he was in the Unitarian Universalist youth movement, Liberal Religious Youth. Worship begins at 10:00 a.m. and childcare is available.

First Parish of Sudbury is a Unitarian Universalist congregation located at 327 Concord Road. The Meetinghouse is accessible to wheelchair users and those who are hearing impaired. We embrace diversity and are intentional about the participation of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons in all aspects of congregational life. We welcome all who wish to explore their own spiritual journeys in the company of others and any who are seeking a liberal religious community of faith.

What's Happening in Religious Exploration

Welcome to First Parish of Sudbury’s Religious Exploration program.  First Parish of Sudbury is a Unitarian Universalist congregation that was first established in 1640.  Although much has changed since then, one thing that remains the same is our steadfast belief in the inherent right to freedom for every person in all matters regarding religion.  Because we want both children and adults to embrace our open-minded heritage, we believe that religious exploration is a lifelong process.  We offer many programs for children and adults.
See Coming UP in RE for more information.
