First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis is an intentionally and radically inclusive congregation of adults, youth, and children. We have a unique history. While affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association of congregations, our origins were not churchy. Instead, we grew out of a circle of free thinkers who saw the value of a congregational structure. Under the ministry of John Dietrich, who served 1916 to 1938, we became the birthplace of what we now call congregational humanism.
