Welcome to Kensington Unitarians

COMMUNITY – SPIRITUALITY – CONSCIENCE

Everyone is welcome at our

Unitarian Church

We are a community of kindred souls who meet regularly to reconnect with what matters most in life; to explore, reflect, converse, be still, share joys and sorrows, and support one another on life’s journey.

We are proud to be part of a worldwide and historic progressive religious tradition. Our main activity is Sunday worship. Our services include readings which draw on wisdom and inspiration from a diverse variety of sources, along with prayers, music, stillness, and a short reflection from our minister. We also offer various small group activities exploring spiritual and religious matters, making space for deep and authentic connection, and considering life’s meaning together with others on the spiritual path.

Who we are

Welcoming exterior of Essex Unitarian Church in Kensington, Notting Hill

We're proud to be a 'church without walls'

Our community includes people from all over London, the UK, and indeed around the world. Our Sunday services are fully accessible via Zoom, and uploaded to YouTube and our podcast feed, so even those who can’t regularly get to Kensington in-person on a Sunday morning, for whatever reason, can stay in touch.

We also hold online Heart and Soul contemplative gatherings, along with our monthly Better World Book Club, and occasional mini-retreats. These online groups are sensitively facilitated spaces where people can get to know each other more deeply and form lasting connections. This hybrid programme is part of our commitment to making our church ever more inclusive and accessible.
