ABOUT US

WHAT IS UNITY?

Unity is a loving, joy-filled spiritual community which embraces every person as an expression of God. Though rooted in the Bible, Unity respects the universal Truths expressed in other traditions and seeks to find the common threads in Eastern and Western teachings.

Our purpose is to provide an environment in which you are able to focus on your spiritual Self in an atmosphere of friendship and caring. We are committed to creating inspiring, practical and life-transforming Sunday services, weekly seminars, workshops and retreats to assist you in enhancing the spiritual connection with yourself and others.

The Unity movement was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in 1889, when Myrtle healed herself of a life-threatening illness using Unity's 5 Basic Tenets.

  FIVE BASIC TENETS

  • God is absolute good, everywhere present.

  • Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.  Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
  • Human beings create their experience through the activity of their thinking.  Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
  • Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection to God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
  • Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.  A person must also live the Truth that he or she knows.
