Bradford Unitarians

Bradford Unitarians' current purpose-built space dates from the 1970s but incorporates elements from the older Toad Lane Chapel or Chapel Lane Chapel which was compulsorily purchased in 1969. The congregation dates back to 1662 and was responsible for the first non-conformist meeting house in Bradford, built in 1719.

Unitarianism gained its name from the belief of early dissenters that there was one God and spirit (in contrast to mainstream Christianity's focus on the trinity). More recently the open-minded curiosity that original Unitarians brought to religion has led our congregations to embrace inspiration from other sources, and our services are open to those of all faiths and none.

Unitarians value all life and aim to promote respect for all, inclusivity and diversity. As part of that commitment, Bradford Unitarians were one of the first faith venues in the area to register for same-sex marriages.

Drop in and visit at any time during the opening hours or join us for:
- a historical talk on Saturday afternoon by renowned local historian Dr. Simon Ross Valentine
- a service at 10:45 a.m. Sunday
