WHAT IS UNITY?
UNITY is a worldwide spiritual organization over a century old. It is Christian-based, but we honor all paths to God, knowing that Truth can be found in all religions.
UNITY is an extremely positive approach to life, seeking to accept the good in people and in all of life. Unity teaches that God is Love, God is Good, God is Spirit, everywhere present.
UNITY seeks to relate religion to daily needs, affirming that for every need there is God's perfect answer.
UNITY proclaims the divinity of Jesus, but goes further and assures you that you, too, are a child of God and therefore divine by nature.
UNITY believes in the effectiveness of prayer. Prayer is not seen as a technique for changing God, but for expanding and transforming your mind, and thus changing you.
UNITY affirms that God is the only presence the only power in the universe. Anything that seems to oppose God is an illusion and has no eternal reality.
UNITY teaches the power of the mind and shows you how the action of your mind affects your body and circumstances. "Thoughts held in mind produce after their kind."
UNITY has no dogma, ritual, creedal requirements or ecclesiastical garb. Unity seeks the Truth that unites us as One, rather than the dogmas that separate us.
UNITY sees worship as serving God by uplifting and glorifying God's spirit in people, in positive, joyous ways. It stresses forgiveness of the past and living fully in the present, seeing the good in all things. Unity believes in eternal life and views the present moment as part of eternal life.
UNITY believes in the joy of giving, and the desire for giving should be initiated from within the giver; consequently, all support is by free will offerings.
UNITY is inter-denominational and welcomes in dignity and love people of all races, colors, religions, sexual orientations, social backgrounds and economic levels. Because of the similarity in names, Unity has, on occasion, been confused with other organizations. However, there is no connection between Unity and Unitarianism or the Unification Church.
In summation, UNITY emphasizes the divine potential within every child of God, and teaches that, through a practical understanding and application of what Jesus taught, every person can realize and express his/her divine potential for a happier, fuller and more successful life.
Because Unity honors all paths to God, we frequently invite guest speakers to share their stories, life experiences and spiritual truths.
