About us
Westminster Unitarian Church is a Welcoming Congregation member of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. We care about our members, our neighbors and the world around us. We are a member congregation of the Ballou Channing District of the UUA.
If you visit us for a Sunday service, you can find members who will talk with you and welcome you. We have coffee hour between services and have special mugs newcomers may use, if they choose, letting us know you are new to the church. If we see someone using one of these newcomer mugs, we can introduce ourselves and try to answer any of your questions.
Some people have asked if they have to be a member to attend Westminster. The answer is that anyone may attend. We encourage you to get to know our congregation before you decide to become a member.
As a UUA Welcoming Congregation, we welcome all individuals without regard to race, color, physical challenge, sexual orientation, age or national origin.
Westminster Unitarian Church began on January 5, 1828, at a private home in Providence, Rhode Island. For 130 years, our church occupied several locations in the same Providence neighbor. In 1958, with many members living in “South County,” the church relocated to East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Our beautiful sanctuary sits atop “Sunset Ridge” on the corner of Kenyon and First Avenues. We also have a memorial garden, which you are welcome to visit.
