Derby Unitarians

Derby Unitarians, at the Friar Gate Chapel:

  • have a long history dating back to around 1650 and are, therefore, one of Derby's oldest non-conformist congregations.
  • strive to be a beacon of love, tolerance, justice, reason and spiritual exploration as we worship together and foster growth in ourselves, each other, our community and our earth.
  • affirm the authority of the individual conscience in matters of religion and therefore embrace a wide spectrum of beliefs and spiritualities.
  • honour the lives and teachings of all the great souls of humanity, recognising that we can all learn from one another.
  • welcome you regardless of creed, gender, sexual orientation or class.
