We can change the world.
People in Unity believe that our world is on the cusp of a new awakening.
As we grow in consciousness, we create a more loving and peaceful world. In Unity, we feel a sacred responsibility, individually and collectively, to make a positive difference through personal example and spiritual social action in our communities and our world. Through prayer, positive community-building and serving others, we demonstrate that we truly are one. Together, we can create a world that works for all.

Unity: What We Teach
-
We all have an innate capacity to know God through direct experience.
-
The “Christ” is that part of God that is in every person. There is a spark of divinity within all people, just as there was in Jesus.
-
Prayer works.
-
Heaven is not a place, but a state of consciousness; we create our own heaven and hell here and now.
-
We are here to set a positive example and be
a role model for others. -
We are here to make the world a better place.
Unity: Five Basic Principles
-
God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
-
We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
-
We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.
-
There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our awareness of God.
-
Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.
