We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:

  • One Presence. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
  • Original Virtue. We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
  • Mindful Co-Creation. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking as co-creators with God.
  • Prayer & Meditation. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our awareness of God. We source divine ideas through our meditation practices.
  • Action. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.
