We strive for our ministries, publications, and programs to reach out to all who seek Unity support and spiritual growth.

What is Unity?

 

Our Core Identity

Unity respects and honors all other religions and spiritual paths.

Founded in 1889, Unity is a worldwide educational and religious organization founded in Kansas City, Missouri. With over 1,000 churches in the United States, Unity offers a practical philosophy for living and an extremely positive approach to life. Unity seeks to accept the good in people and all of life--unabashedly focusing on and celebrating the "original blessing." Unity has no strict creed or dogma but offers a comprehensive teaching to all who are seeking a deeper understanding of their spiritual nature.

God

God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is, and greater than all that is. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing, and sustaining through all.

God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. In God, we live and move and have our being.

In Unity, we also speak of God as:

  • Life, Light, Love
  • Principle, Law, Universal Mind 

Nature of Humankind

We are each unique expressions of God. Our essential nature is divine and inherently good.

Our purpose is to express our divine potential as fully realized and demonstrated by Jesus and other master teachers.

How fully we express God depends on the level of awareness of our divinity.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus fully expressed his divine potential and sought to show humankind how to express ours as well.

We see Jesus as Our Way Shower, Elder Brother, and Master Teacher. He taught universal truth.

Traditionally in Unity we use the term “Christ” to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus was a perfect demonstration of the Christ in expression.

The Bible

Unity co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, studied the Bible as history and allegory, and interpreted it as a metaphysical representation of humankind’s evolutionary journey toward spiritual awakening.

Today, Unity recognizes that the Bible is a complex collection of writings compiled over many centuries. We honor the writings as reflecting the understanding and inspiration of the writers at the time they were written. It continues to have meaning for us today.

Teachings

Unity encourages every person to realize we are unique expressions of God. Living from that awareness transforms our lives and the world.

Unity emphasizes the creative power of thought in our life experience. We refer to this as the Law of Mind Action. When we take personal responsibility to choose life affirming thoughts and words, we experience a more fulfilling and abundant life.

Unity teachings continue to evolve by identifying, embracing and applying the spiritual implications of scientific and psychological discoveries.

Prayer and Meditation

Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. Meditation is resting and listening in the silence.

We use prayer and meditation to experience the presence of God and to remember our oneness. These spiritual practices transform us.

Youth and Family Ministry

Unity recognizes that there are many expressions of family life. All are welcome.

Unity creates an affirming environment that fosters positive self image, personal responsibility and unconditional love and acceptance.

Unity...

  • Beholds all children as whole and perfect expressions of God 
    Empowers children to fulfill their divine potential 
    Teaches children to meditate and pray 
    Invites children to experience a loving God 
    Unity provides a strong spiritual foundation for children’s lives. 

Spiritual Action

In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility, individually and collectively, to make a positive difference through active service in our communities and in our world.
