Welcome to a Different Kind of Congregation
The First Unitarian Church of Omaha has offered a unique approach to religion emphasizing the freedom to explore various spiritual paths, tolerance for diverse ideas, and the use of reason in religion, since its founding in 1869 . We see the religious community as a place that will not lay down rigid rules, but instead invites you into a dialogue about the meaning of your life and about your relationship with others, with our planet, and with the mystery that lies beyond and within. We explore various religious traditions for their wisdom not only the Jewish and Christian sources but also the world religions. In addition, we learn from the natural world, science, literature, and the great minds and inspiring individuals of past and present. In a community of young and old, gay and straight, from various cultural and racial backgrounds, we seek to make this world a better place for all. We seek to be a place where people can find respite from their busy lives to explore the deeper questions of living. We seek to be a place which offers opportunity for service. We seek to be a place where people can come together to support one another in our life journeys, to heal life’s wounds and celebrate our joys. You are warmly invited to visit The First Unitarian Church. See you on Sunday!

Construction and Finding Our Church Church Parking
Mutual's newly expanded parking garage begins at 33rd and Harney Streets and extends east to the edge or our church parking lot. Mutual has kindly made the parking garage available free of charge for our use on Sundays between 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. Please note that you will not be able to enter after 1:00 P.M., but will be able to exit after that time. You will not need an access card. (Check with our office in advance for availabilities for special events.)
Thanks to National Indemnty Company, our neighbor to the east, we may also park free of charge in the Tamarak Building's south parking lot on Sundays. The Tamarack building is diagonally across from our church on the southeast corner of 31st and Harney Streets. The south lot is identified by a sign identifying it as a National Indemnity parking lot.
