Our Youth and Family Ministry Program is a thriving, positive program which focuses on Unity's Five Basic Truth Principles.

​All are welcome to attend.
Class starts at 10:30.
We look forward to you joining us!
Unity's Five Basic Principles

We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
  1. There is only one Presence and one Power active in the Universe and in my life. God the Good.
  2. Our essence is of God; therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
  3. We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in Mind.
  4. Through prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
  5. Through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the Truth we know.
The Mission of our Youth and Family Ministry
is to guide and support our youth in developing a greater spiritual awareness of themselves and the world.

The Purpose of our Youth and Family Ministry
is to model our Inner Christ and witness the spiritual awakening of our youth.

​Through the use of art, meditation, prayer, music, storytelling, and other activities, our youth learn the basic teachings of Unity.
We foster an atmosphere that encourages an understanding of God along with self-awareness.

We honor all youth by supporting and encouraging their spiritual journeys.
We teach the Five Basic Unity Principles along with Unity-created curriculum.  

We provide weekly spiritual lessons for children ages pre-K through teen-age during our Sunday Service.

We separate lessons by the following grade level
  • Pre-K/Kindergarten
