In September 2022, Reverend Steve Wilson joined First Parish as our 1/4 time minister. After earning his M.Div at Boston University, he began serving UU congregations across the country. His family and roots called him back to Lexington and FPC is fortunate to have his humor, balance of philosophy and spirituality, and his deep commitment to service. Reverend Steve's sermons are well attended, on the 1st and 3rd of each month, and he leads a Theology Group and a Writing Group. His youthful energy is infectious and brings delight to the young and old.
