Second Friday Coffeehouse at First Church Belmont Unitarian Universalist

Waltham House is the first residential group home designed specifically for LGBTQ youth in New England, and one of only three of its kind in the nation. Its founding principles are that every child deserves to live in an environment in which they feel safe, respected, supported and cared for by those around them. The group home provides a safe and supportive living environment with 24-hour staffing for up to 12 gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or transgender youth ages 14–18.

common cathedral (Ecclesia Ministries, Inc.) is an outdoor congregation, housed and un-housed, sharing God’s love through community, pastoral care, creative expression, and worship on Boston Common. We are non-proselytizing and ecumenical. We welcome and support all people.

common cathedral serves as an important community for people experiencing homelessness, and for faith communities who want to be in supportive relationship with un-housed individuals and their friends.

common cathedral welcomes everyone to participate fully in our worship and extended hospitality. Youth and adults join together for worship on Boston Common and are also welcome to participate in our additional programs.

First Church Belmont has an active partnership with the Unitarian Church of Désfalva, Transylvania. Since 1990, pilgrims have travelled between the two congregations every few years to share fellowship and to support each other’s spiritual journeys.

The Transylvania Partner Church Musical Instrument Fund was established in 2019 to provide musical instruments to our Partner Church. In addition to raising money, we're hoping to send them some musical instruments. Your gift of any size will help First Church continue its critical role in funding this important program.

Our partnership with the Unitarian Church of Désfalva is maintained and nurtured by the Transylvania Partner Church Committee.
