Welcome home to Unity!
 If
you're one of the “spiritual but not religious” people
who questions your childhood faith or is looking for something more,
this Web site may feel like a homecoming.
You may be one of the
millions of people who have embarked on their own spiritual path.
If so, you have just discovered a whole community of people like
yourself. It is Unity – a spiritual movement that honors all
paths to God; sees God as good and everywhere present; and affirms
the spark of Divinity in all of us. Unity also offers a positive,
practical, progressive approach to Christianity, regarding Jesus
as the great example rather than the great exception. Unity interprets
the Bible metaphysically rather than literally. Have you ever imagined
that the Bible could be the story of your own life? It is just one
of the tools available for powerful personal transformation. Join
us here on this website or at our church for services, classes events
and fellowship. We will be glad you did! Welcome home~
Whether
you are visiting us only through this website, have attended
our weekend celebration service, or discovered us through our classes
or workshops, we welcome you here. Wherever you are on your spiritual
journey, we will meet you there. We honor all paths to God, as we
know we are all unique expressions of God in our world. We respect
the truth wherever it is found, following specifically the truth
teachings of Jesus Christ, our teacher and way-shower. If you are
new to us please read on to learn more about Unity, our church and
our beliefs.

Fridays 9:30-11:00 a.m., Aug, 20th - Sept. 24th
Led by Jacquie Hardesty on the 3rd floor
This class is an introduction and exploration of the creation stories found in the Hebrew and Christian bibles and the significant guidance they contain for this modern age through metaphysical interpretation. In this course we will focus on understanding the seven days of creation as related in the Bible, and the seven steps of the Creative Process as interpreted by Charles Fillmore and Unity School. Through this study we can grow in consciousness and more fully express our spiritual selves.

The radiance of the Christ fills us to overflowing with the blessing of God’s love.
We give thanks for the divine activity of the Holy Spirit that establishes healing, abundant prosperity, joyous and loving relationships, guidance, wisdom and understanding that permeate all of our people and activities.
We are growing in God’s good. Our services, classes and activities are filled with joyous, loving, supportive people, eager to grow in God’s truth and bless each other.
We and our church are beacons of infinite blessings. The radiance of divine love attracts to us all that is necessary to be in joyful service to God and God’s children.
Divine Order operates joyously and completely in every aspect of our church and in every aspect of our lives.
We release all that is not of the Christ, all limiting beliefs, ideas and actions.
We incorporate the Christ consciousness in all our thoughts, words and actions. We affirm peace in our lifetime. The power of prayer is evident in mighty, healing, transforming ways.
Thank You, God, for Your continual infilling that establishes Your kingdom of blessing on earth.
Amen!
