A welcoming place for all who seek spiritual meaning in their lives
and 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)

Sunday Service 13th September, 11 am
"To save the world... or to savour it?"
Our Sunday Service on 13th September at 11 am will be led by Rev. Sheena Gabriel, exploring the tensions and dilemmas we face in balancing the two ...
In the words of E.B. White: "I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve (or save) the world, And a desire to enjoy (or savour) the world. That makes it hard to plan the day.”
The hymns are from Hymns for Living and Sing Your Faith:
HFL 15 - For All that is Our Life
SYF 101 - May I Use my Hands with Care
SYF 100 - May I be Filled with Loving Kindness
SYF 147 - Spirit of Earth, Root, Stone, and Tree
The service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel, and you can join using the link below:
