What is Unity?
Unity is a nondenominational church that welcomes people of all races, colors, religions, social backgrounds and economic levels in dignity and love. We take an extremely positive approach to life, emphasizing the good in people and all of life.
Although Unity is sometimes confused with other denominations, such as Unitarian or The Unification Church, there is no connection.
Unity proclaims the divinity of Jesus, but goes even further by proclaiming that every person is a child of God and therefore divine in nature. We believe that a person's mind is his or her connecting link with God or Divine Mind. Therefore, much emphasis is placed on the effective power that every thought, feeling, work or act has in creating one's life.
Unity also seeks to relate religion to daily needs, affirming that for every need there is God's perfect answer. We also place strong emphasis on prayer and meditation. Our primary textbook is The Bible, whose lessons are related to everyday experiences and therefore made more relevant.
Unity views worship as serving God by uplifting and glorifying God's spirit in man, in positive, joyous ways. We're not so much concerned about a "future life" as we are in teaching people to live more fully in the present.
Unity believes in eternal life and views the present moment as a part of that life. We also emphasize the divine potential in every child of God, and teach that through a practical understanding and application of what Jesus taught, that every person can realize and express their potential for a richer and fuller life.
In Unity, everyone is recognized as a true spiritual being, awakening to the truth that sets them free.
We are proud of our ministry, which emphasizes a positive approach to the teachings of Christianity, and would be honored to serve you and support your spiritual needs as a fellow child of God.
