About Us
The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn is a welcoming congregation that has been meeting regularly in Brooklyn Heights, NY since 1833, celebrating our 175 anniversary in 2008!
We are located at Pierrepont Street and Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights, NY, in a shady, quiet residential neighborhood just over the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan. The main public entrance to the Sanctuary is on Pierrepont Street. The church office (and official mailing address) is 50 Monroe Place, Brooklyn, NY 11201 , just around the corner from the public entrance. You can call us anytime at (718) 624-5466.
We are a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), which has a liberal spiritual philosophy that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places.
We welcome families of all kinds with kids of all ages: we have a vibrant Religious Education program, an active coming of age program for teens and young adults, as well as childcare for the youngest members of our community.
We have a fantastic music program which makes wonderful use of our historic pipe organ as part of our service, and we feature many special music services throughout the year to celebrate jazz, folk, classical and traditional music.
We are also a part of the UUA Welcoming Congregation Program. We welcome bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people to our congregation, to participate fully as a part of our community, our celebrations, and our effort to work for social justice. We also participate in workshops developed by the UUA to reduce prejudice by increasing understanding and acceptance among people of different sexual orientations
