First Steps

Getting involved at First Unity can happen in many ways, but your first steps into understanding Unity as a way of life is to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your 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. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
2. We are spiritual beings, created in God's image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.
3. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.
4. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to God.
5. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.

To learn more about Unity principles, the following books, available at Wings Bookstore, are recommended:

Discover the Power Within You, Eric Butterworth

Sunday celebrations are awesome within a spiritual community, yet it is in the classroom environment that we have hands-on experience with truth teachings; we meet new people who view us in unique and different ways; and we make friends that can last for a lifetime.

Spiritual leaders all agree that the most involved people on the planet are the most evolved.  As spiritual students of truth, it is crucial that we give our minds and our emotions opportunities to heal and reveal.  One of these ways is through education.  An educated spiritual mind opens up to the ability to heal old wounds, to expand beyond current circumstances and embrace the spiritual abundance which lies within.

Our ongoing classes and workshops will help you deepen and enrich your spiritual experience, as part of a congregation of sincere, dedicated and open-minded individuals who share the truth of your innermost divine nature.  Many classes are offered for you to expand the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of your being.

Another great way to get more involved is to volunteer. Your level of involvement is up to you - we appreciate each and every one of our volunteers! Without you we would not be able to do all that we can for our congregation, our church and our community. Check out our teams here.
