Committees

The members of the congregation elect its leadership annually and volunteer on many committees, task forces, and ad hoc groups. There are many different roles and opportunities to get involved.

To get connected to the right person about joining a committee, contact the church office via email or call 781-275-7994. First Parish Members may also access a list of committees with current members and committee chairs through their Breeze login.
