YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRY
Welcome to Our Youth and Family Ministry
​
Through creative, energetic, and loving programming children learn, share, and celebrate the divine in each other and in the world. We express and explore their spiritual nature in an accepting, safe, family-friendly environment.
Our philosophy affirms spirituality that resides within each of us and in everything. Spirituality isn’t the process of being fed information from the outside, but of awakening our inner divinity.
We affirm that we are all uniquely unfolding.​
Curriculum
​
Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, believed our mission was not to “entertain the children, but instead, to draw them out.” Unity believes and affirms that what we learn and know already lives within everyone.
​
We offer spiritual support and nurture every young person’s creativity, wholeness and wonderful ability to thrive. We honor their honesty and wisdom within, by utilizing storytelling and experiential creative expression. Our curriculum explores spiritual principles and how they operate in our lives.
They are kind and gentle humans having a spiritual experience.​
​Five Basic Unity Principles
1. God is all good and active in everything, everywhere. GOD IS.
2. I am naturally good because God’s Divinity is in me and in everyone. I AM.
3. I create my experiences by what I choose to think and what I feel and believe. I THINK.
4. Through affirmative prayer and meditation, I connect with God and bring out the good in my life. I PRAY.
5. I do and give my best by living the Truth that I know. I make a difference! I TAKE ACTION.
