Unitarianism
A Living and Loving Spirituality that Engages both the Heart and the Mind
We are a loving community of spiritual seekers, diverse in opinion yet united by our common search for truth and our desire to support each other in that search.

The Unitarians are a spiritual community who encourage you to think for yourself.
You are welcome here. We are building open-minded, loving, spiritually-grounded communities – and have been for 300 years. If you are interested in becoming a formal member of the chapel, please speak to David Burton.

Services are followed by tea/coffee and you are welcome to stay and join us. All of our services are different. We are fortunate to have a number of speakers and leaders who each have their own style. You might spend the service listening to poetry and prose, sacred book readings or the thoughts of the speaker. You may instead spend more time singing to live musical accompaniment, or have silent meditation interludes. Sometimes you might experience the views of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans, Buddhists, or even Agnostics and Atheists! We are not bound by a creed, we have the freedom to bring our own beliefs and philosophies to share. We are a spiritual community who encourage you to think for yourself.
““those calm moments shared last Sunday Morning in our Chapel were uplifting and spiritually refreshing as we listened to Professor Hugh McLeod a Derby Quaker - It always surprises me that our relaxed embracing approach attracts so few people living in Belper - without people we just have an empty historic building !”
“Eve CrawfordProduct Designer, That Biz“It was a lovely service from Maria, painful at times but glad to be with others to share feelings and in a safe space to rant.”
““Really interesting and informative service with a lovely community of people.”

““I sat there many time’s especially at Sunday school anniversary reciting poems. We used to sell the harvest produce for charity at the old Sunday school building on Monday, happy days”
““I commend these powerful words trusting that as an individual I will always have the courage to challenge those full of bigotry & hate within my life journey. Too often I play it safe rather than challenging such cruel human beings !”
