The 220+ members of the United Parish are affiliated with the United
Church of Christ, United Methodist, and American Baptist denominations.
A number of our congregants come from a variety of Christian and other
traditions, or have limited experience with organized religion. All are welcome
on our spiritual journey together.
How did we come to be a United Parish? In the 1970’s, three
Protestant churches in Brookline merged and began a new life together. They
brought together different traditions, styles of worship, and theological
outlooks from the denominations. What they had in common was a faith in a God
who was made known in Jesus Christ, a commitment to the church, and a belief
that they were called to something new. Their ecumenical venture celebrated the
unity of the Christian church and witnessed to its diversity.
More than thirty years later, the United Parish in Brookline is a vibrant
community that still celebrates and witnesses to that vision. We are a community
of seekers that supports the spiritual growth of its members and reaches out to
those in need.
Shared worship is the core of our life together, and we have varied lay
ministries of music, education, service and fellowship. While we honor our
traditions, we are open to new ideas and are always looking for new leadership
in shaping our program offerings to meet the needs and interests of the
community.
