ABOUT UNITY
Unity was founded on the principle that Christianity must be practical. Its practice must lift our lives, enhance our awareness and promote our happiness if its teachings are valid. We teach that God is loving, every-where present, all- knowing and all-powerful. Sin is merely an error that can be corrected. There is no evil power, only evil behavior that stems from a lack of awareness of God's Love. Prayer and meditation are tools for our increased awareness. The Bible is our textbook, containing many wonderful myths and historical incidents that represent the truth of our being; but that truth is far more glorious than mere words can express, hence the need for allegory, metaphor and allusion. We realize that our teachings are not the only expression of Truth. We regard Jesus as a brother and way-shower, as our master teacher. We are each unique and beautiful, albeit imperfect, expressions of the indwelling Christ that Jesus so perfectly demonstrated. We recognize the other religious traditions of the West, the East and the indigenous cultures of the world as appropriate, and similarly metaphorical, expressions of Truth.

AN INSPIRING STORY
Unity School of Christianity is the world headquarters of the Unity movement, founded in 1889 in Kansas City, Missouri, by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. After Mrs. Fillmore's remarkable healing using prayer and affirmations, many friends became interested in how she accomplished this healing. From small prayer circles in living rooms, Unity grew. Today, Unity School of Christianity is a not-for-profit organization based on the teachings of Jesus and the healing power of prayer. Our three main areas of service are prayer, publishing and education. We are based at Unity Village, located 15 miles southeast of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The Mediterranean-style campus includes 1,400 acres of gardens, chapels and recreational facilities that attract spiritual seekers of all faiths and backgrounds.

UNITY PRINCIPLES
We encourage people to explore and apply Unity teachings based on their own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
  1. There is only one  Presence and one Power active as the universe and as my life, God the Good.
  2. Our essence is of God: therefore, we are inherently good.  This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus, the Christ.
  3. We are co-creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in mind.
  4. Thru prayer and meditation, we align our heart-mind with God. Denials and affirmations are tools we use.
  5. Through thoughts, words and actions, we live the Truth we know.
