“I welcome you to join this vibrant, intergenerational community.
~ Reverend Dr. Kristen Harper
We acknowledge that the building that this congregation occupies rests upon the unceded ancestral territory of the Wampanoag peoples who have lived and been sustained in this area for over 12,000 years.
The building that is the spiritual home to the Unitarian Church of Barnstable (UCB) actually consists of three buildings: a sanctuary, parish hall and office wing. Also on the property is The Old Schoolhouse building, the side lawn and a large parking lot to the east.
The sanctuary building is the oldest section dating from 1907. It is the successor of several church buildings occupied by the congregation since its founding in 1639. The church was the focus of an historic preservation effort ending in 2024, is well maintained and houses a forward-focused spiritual community.
In the spring of 2026, UCB was awarded the Charles Eliot Award from Preservation Massachusetts. Many thanks to the church members who were involved in guiding the capital campaign and to those involved directly in the preservation effort.
