Welcome

This page is for you, the individual, to explore how you are a vital part of the larger Unity movement. You are the one that can make a difference by becoming involved in your ministry, your community, the world. As Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” Be a part of the vision. Find out how by reading on.

The Vision

Centered in God, we co-create a world that works for all (Association of Unity Churches International's vision statement)

Get involved in your ministry and take individual action. View the video below.
 

 

What is yours to do?
Transform your life, your ministry, your community, the world, one step at a time. “This is truly an amazing time to be alive. Even in the face of seemingly growing global chaos, there is evidence the seeds of transformation are springing to life. As we open our collective eyes and see the work to be done, we might feel overwhelmed and small. Yet people all over the world are realizing "if it is to be, it's up to me." WE, each one of us, make up the collective. And when we join together and do what needs to be done, transformation occurs.”—James Trapp, president/CEO, Association of Unity Churches International (excerpt from Contact magazine, June 2008.)


Questions to consider:

• How do the personal choices we each make impact the world we live in?
• We know that by being intentional and holding a vision in mind, we can bring it into reality. If each of us indeed makes our own reality, what choices must we make to change the reality we see?
• How do you see that taking place in your life? In your local Unity ministry? In the Unity movement? In our world?

Your awareness and deep understanding of these connections can lead to a greater energy field for us all. Take your place in our movement.
