We believe in our common unity with all life. We seek to realize a
community of all humanity empowered by love. We study and practice
the universal principles and spiritual values taught by Jesus.
Through prayer, meditation, and service we invoke the continuing
revelation of the Christ presence and become increasingly aware
of our oneness with God.

The Unity Movement was cofounded by Charles and
Myrtle Fillmore, husband and wife. Their great-granddaughter,
Connie Fillmore Bazzie, is Chairperson of the Board of Trustees
at Unity School of Christianity, a post she has held for years.
She has authored a brief text known as The
Five Principles that summarizes the beliefs of most people in Unity:
|
 |
God is absolute good, everywhere present.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Human beings create their experience by
the activity of their thinking. Everything
in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
This is called the Law of Mind Action.
|
|
|
Prayer is creative thinking that
heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings
forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and
everything good.
|
|
|
Knowing and understanding the laws of
life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must
also live the truth that he or she knows.
