What happens at a service?

We celebrate God in an inclusive, loving environment. Sunday services are inspiring and positive, and they provide you with practical tools to live a spiritually centered life! You’ll experience great music and friendly people, and the messages you hear will help you deal with the real-life issues you face during the week. Each service also includes a short guided meditation followed by a few minutes of silent contemplation.

What denomination are you?

We are a member of Unity Worldwide Ministries. Unity was founded in the 1890s as part of a wave of new denominations that sought a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity. We are also trans-denominational, in that we honor and study the universal truths in all religions and respect each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path. While we look to Jesus as our master teacher and wayshower, we also enjoy exploring the wisdom of the Buddha, the Tao, Hinduism, and more. We view ourselves as a movement in consciousness, rather than as a religion.

What are your Teachings and Practices?

Please read What is Unity? to learn more about our beliefs.

We offer Youth Education classes at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning.
We offer a Children’s Moment during the Sunday service, which is a brief lesson targeted to our children.
We also offer a variety of family friendly events throughout the year.
