A unitarian church is a site for religious services in the Unitarian denomination.
The congregation's Unitarian affiliation distinguishes the worship space from a church belonging to another denomination. A building's age, plan, or decoration does not by itself identify that affiliation.
Unitarian belief is traditionally non-Trinitarian, but that belief alone does not make every non-Trinitarian congregation Unitarian. An interdenominational church is defined by its shared use across denominations, which is a different characteristic from affiliation with the Unitarian tradition.
