We are a vibrant and lively congregation of people of all backgrounds and ages who worship together in a beautiful 19th century church on St. Stephen’s Green in the centre of Dublin city.The church was built as a Unitarian church in 1863 but Unitarians in Dublin, ( known at different times as Non Conformists / Protestant Dissenters / Presbyterians) are descendants of several congregations which had 'Meeting Houses' in the city since the mid-1600's. Our bond of union is religious sympathy, not the declaration of a creed-bound faith. In the love of truth and in the spirit of Christ, we unite for the worship of God and the service of our fellows. The following text has been the motto of our church for many years:
"Love is the doctrine of this church, the quest of truth is its sacrament and service is its prayer. To dwell together in peace. To seek knowledge in freedom. To serve humankind in fellowship to the end that all souls shall grow in harmony with the divine. This do we covenant with each other and with God." The church is an eco-congregation and has been awarded a Fairtrade Certificate. On our website at www.dublinunitarianchurch.org, you can find details of our services, a map to help you find us, a history of our church and of Unitarianism in Dublin, and links to other useful sites. Details on our rites of passage services – baptisms, weddings and funerals – are also available.
