Founded in 1889, Unity offers a practical philosophy for living. Unity has no strict creed or dogma, but offers a comprehensive teaching to all who are seeking a deeper understanding of their spiritual nature. Unity teaches that God is good, and His will for us is good – happiness, health, harmony and abundance. As children of God, our purpose in life is to express our divine potential.

Unity’s purpose is to help and teach all people to use and prove the eternal Truth taught by the master, Jesus Christ. Unity is more than a church, more than a school. It is a spiritual movement for all individuals growing, seeking, unfolding, and becoming what they are meant to be.

Unity is more interested in teaching you how to think than what to think. It always leaves you free to choose what has value for you.

UNITY’S STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

“Unity is a link in the great educational movement inaugurated by Jesus Christ. Our objective is to discern the truth in Christianity and prove it. The truth we teach is not new; neither do we claim special revelations or discovery of new religious principles. Our purpose is to help mankind to use and prove the eternal Truth taught by the Master.” Charles Fillmore

UNITY’S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES

1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.
2. Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, The Christ spirit within. Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
3. Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
4. Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
5. Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live by the Truth that he or she knows.
