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 .
EVENTS
As well as a sacred space for spiritual nourishment the church hosts a wealth of creative activities for community groups including choirs and dancing.
​
The space lends itself to live concerts, plays, book signings, workshops, craft fairs and dance performances and we host our own
Friday lunchtime fund-raising concerts (see: https://www.brightonunitarian.org.uk/friday-lunchtime-concerts)

'Back to Life' by Christine Clark-Lowes
This interesting and well-researched book by Christine Clark-Lowes, a BUC member, tells the stories of the people named on plaques in our beautiful Grade II listed church.
There is a reference copy in the church, and copies are available in the church office in return for a donation to the church.
