What we're about
The Sunday Assembly is a secular congregation that celebrates life. Our motto: live better, help often, wonder more. Our mission: to help everyone find and fulfill their full potential. Our vision: a secular congregation in every town, city and village that wants one.
We are here for everyone who wants to:
Live Better. We aim to provide inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people to live the lives they want to lead and be the people they want to be.
Help Often. Assemblies are communities of action building lives of purpose, encouraging us all to help anyone who needs it to support each other.
Wonder More. Hearing talks, singing as one, listening to readings and even playing games helps us to connect with each other and the awesome world we live in.
The Sunday Assembly . . .
• Is 100% celebration of life.
• We are born from nothing and go to nothing. Let’s enjoy it together.
• Has no doctrine. We have no set texts so we can make use of wisdom from all sources.
• Has no deity. We don’t do supernatural but we also won’t tell you you’re wrong if you do.
• Is radically inclusive. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs--this is a place of love that is open and accepting.
• Is free to attend, not-for-profit, and volunteer run. We ask for donations to cover our costs and support our community work.
• Has a community mission. Through our Action Heroes (you!), we will be a force for good.
• Is independent. We do not accept sponsorship or promote outside businesses, organizations, or services.
• Is here to stay. With your involvement, The Sunday Assembly will make the world a better place.
• We won’t tell you how to live, but will try to help you do it as well as you can.
• And remember point 1… The Sunday Assembly is a celebration of the one life we know we have.
What should you expect from a Sunday Assembly event?
Just by being with us you should be energized, revitalized, restored, repaired, refreshed, and recharged. No matter what the subject of the Assembly, it will solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday.
But life can be tough… It is. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, we have moments of weakness or life just isn’t fair. We want The Sunday Assembly to be a house of love and compassion, where, no matter what your situation, you are welcomed, accepted and loved.
Most of all, have fun, be nice, and join in!
Upcoming events (1)
This month, Tom Smith will be sharing the amazing powers of Red Wigglers to transform our waste and our communities.
Tom is a worm composting evangelist and has spent years developing vermicomposting programs for neighborhoods, community gardens, and beyond. He designs and builds low-cost worm houses to suit the community he's working with. To Tom, worm composting isn't just about making higher quality compost and avoiding greenhouse gas emissions, it's about bringing together groups of people around a collective, local project.
If worms (or anything else!) get you inspired to share a reading or a new wonder you've come across, let us know! Get in touch via our Discord invite (more below) or reply to [masked].
We'll have music, chatting, snacks, and thoughtful conversation -- don't miss it!
