Home Page for First Unitarian Church of Omaha

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!

Sunday Worship Times

First Unitarian Church of Omaha is located at 3114 Harney Street. Regular Sunday Services begin at 11:00am and are followed by our traditional coffee hour in the church social hall called the Common Room. Except in the summer children grades K-6 attend Sunday School at 11:15am following "The Story for All Ages" which occurs early in the service. Child care is provided in the nursery for infants and pre-school children.

Dress comfortably. Free parking is available in the lot west of the Church.

Wednesday Night Youth Group

Youth in grades 7-12 participate in our popular YRUU program.

Temporary Church Parking Changes

Mutual of Omaha continues construction of the parking structure immediately to our west. This will affect our Sunday parking (leaving only our small lot next to the church) through August.

On Sundays, we will reserve our parking lot next to the church to accommodate the handicapped, anyone who needs to park near the building, and visitors to our service. We ask that all others either park on the street or else drop off passengers in the church lot before parking in alternate locations. There is a significant amount of on-street parking on Harney Street.

We may also park in the Tamarak Building's south parking lot on Sundays. The Tamarack building is diagonally across from our building on the southeast corner of 31st and Harney Streets.
