Bradford Unitarians

7A Russell Street, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD5 0JB

  • Pre-booking not required

The history of Bradford's Unitarian congregation dates right back to 1662, when the city itself was still just a small town.

Today they worship in a purpose-built modern space, and over the weekend of 13-14 September, all are welcome to visit and find out more about the faith and its long, deep connection to the Bradford area.

Unitarianism takes its name from the belief of early dissenters that there was one God and spirit (as opposed to mainstream Christianity’s focus on a holy trinity). More recently, the open-minded curiosity that original Unitarians brought to religion has led the congregations to embrace inspiration from other sources. Their services are open to those of all faiths (or indeed none).

View our archives, beautiful stained glass and memorials, and join us for a historical talk or inclusive worship service.

The church will be open to visitors at any time during the opening hours, as well as for:

- a historical talk on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. by renowned local historian Dr. Simon Ross Valentine: ‘From Pew to Power-loom: How Faith Shaped Industry in Victorian Bradford’

- a Sunday service at 10:45am led by Rev. Stephanie Bisby, former minister with Bradford Unitarians

- a timeline outlining over 350 years of the Bradford Unitarians and their effect on the city
