First United Church of Tampa, a United Church of Christ congregation, invites you to learn more about our liberal expression of the Christian faith.

We celebrate diversity as we worship as a church family, and our progressive, open-minded, and welcoming environment attracts members from Tampa, USF, Temple Terrace, Lutz, Zephyrhills, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Brandon, Dade City, San Antonio, Riverview, Thonotosassa, Odessa, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, Bartow, Plant City, and other areas in Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, and Hernando Counties.

Our Children's Church and Youth Outreach programs inspire the young people in our congregation to be challenged and forward-thinking in their spirituality.

We declared ourselves an "Open and Affirming" church to welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Christians into the full life and leadership of our congregation.  As a "Peace with Justice" church, we have a long history of opposing intolerance, injustice, discrimination, violence, and war.  In addition, we endorsed the Earth Charter, which is a declaration of principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society.  God expects nothing less from us!

God calls us to create positive and peaceful change and to work for social justice in Tampa Bay, in Florida, in our nation, and throughout God's world.  Won't you join us in our mission and ministry?
