• A Warm Welcome and Invitation ....
• Welcome to the Web Site of the Kidderminster New Meeting (KNMH) and to our Unitarian and Free Christian 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 as detailed on the New Meeting House Calendar set out below.
• Importantly too, New Meeting House premises are open informally to Visitors each Friday morning from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm for Coffee/Tea/Biscuits (Chat Café) and for the Friendship of our Spiritual 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 for reflection and retreat.
• Friday morning is a good time for an informal tour of our beautiful Grade II Listed Building, especially if you would like to explore the possibility of a Unitarian Service or Other Ceremony 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 and Free Christian Movement has evolved from an early dissenting Christian belief in the Oneness of God, that is, in the Unity of the Divine. Our Movement 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.

• Life Events - Special Services ....
• Our Life Event Services, being in the Unitarian and Free Christian tradition, are special and unique. Because we are not constrained by any fixed system of theological belief, Unitarian services for Child Welcoming, including Child Naming and Godparent (Spiritual Life Mentor) Commitment Ceremonies, Marriages and Funerals can be tailored sympathetically to meet the spiritual needs of the participants.
• We respect the best in all human and religious traditions and will consider willingly the organisation of either an appropriate Unitarian Life Event Service or an alternative Event Ceremony for persons from the less flexible Christian traditions, from other Religious Faiths, and from agnostic or humanistic backgrounds.
• Our Lay Pastor, Kathleen Forder, should be contacted regarding Child Welcoming, including Child Naming and Godparent (Spiritual Life Mentor) Commitment Ceremonies, Marriages and Funerals or for general consultation.
