Welcoming all who seek spiritual meaning in their lives and
All who believe that religion is wider than any one faith
​
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
We welcome all who seek a better life through spiritual and intellectual exploration. We have respect for all faiths, coupled with a modern religious outlook that encourages freedom of individual thought and conscience. We welcome all who believe that religion is wider than any one sect and deeper than any one set of opinions.
SERVICES
Our Sunday services at 11am draw their inspiration from
scriptures of the world faiths and wisdom traditions, philosophy and from contemporary literature and science.
Service leaders include our minister Jennifer, members of the congregation, visiting ministers, and members of other Unitarian churches. They include music, singing, prayer and meditation .
There is always time for a chat after with a cuppa

How to support Brighton Unitarian Church from the comfort of your sofa
​
Just a reminder that the church is partnered with Easy Fundraising if our members and friends would like to sign up in order to generate donations for the church as they shop online. This works a bit like the Amazon Smile scheme which recently closed but with many more choices as to where you shop. In fact Easy Fundraising is the UK’s biggest charity shopping site.
Launched in 2005, their community of over 2 million supporters have raised over £42 million for thousands of causes across the UK. Easy Fundraising partners with over 7,000 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won’t cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand.
​
Once you’ve set up your account, you’ll have the option to install the EF browser extension which is called the Donation Reminder. It will pop up on every retailer site where a donation is available - which means you don’t have to remember to go via the EF website to do your shopping, just shop online as normal!
