• A Warm Welcome and Invitation ....
• Welcome to the Web Site of the Kidderminster New Meeting House and to our Unitarian Fellowship. We invite you to share in and to enjoy our warm and unconditional friendship, either through this web site or, should you wish it, active participation in our religious services, social activities and events.
• Our Unitarian forbears have served the people of Kidderminster in the liberal Christian tradition for over 200 years. We seek to continue that tradition. Spirituality and Community, Truth, Peace, Social Justice, and the Celebration of all Life and Life Events are important to us.

• About Visiting Us ....
• Approached through tranquil gardens off Church Street and close-by the heart of the town, regular 11.00 a.m. Sunday Services are held at New Meeting House as detailed on the Church Calendar set out below.
• Importantly too, New Meeting House is open informally to Visitors each Friday morning from 10.00 a.m.to 12.30 a.m. for Coffee/Tea/Biscuits and the Friendship of our Church Community.
• Our Friday Visitors come for various reasons, for example, to find out more about our activities, religious and secular, and to share ideas about common human values and concerns. Others come purely to socialise and chat or, conversely, to spend quiet time alone in reflection and retreat.
• Friday morning is a good time for an informal tour of our beautiful Grade II Listed Church, especially if you would like to explore the possibility of a Unitarian Service to celebrate a Life Event such as a birth or marriage.
• Whatever the reason for your visit, you are assured of a warm and friendly welcome.

• Our Beliefs & Spirituality ....
• The Unitarian Movement has evolved from an early dissenting Christian belief in the Oneness of God, that is, in the Unity of the Divine. Unitarianism today embraces full and unconditional freedom of religious thought. We have no fixed creed or dogma. Personal spiritual growth is encouraged through individual reasoning and conscience.
• In addition to the teachings of Jesus, we draw inspiration from those of religious luminaries from other faith traditions concerned with the higher human values of love, forgiveness, forbearance and generosity.
• We would like to think that these values are constant aspirations in our daily lives.
