UNITY CHRIST CHURCH CORE VALUES
Spiritual Growth
We at Unity Christ Church believe that spiritual growth is the process of awakening to the truth that each of us is a unique expression of God. We strengthen our communion with God by deepening our understanding of Unity principles, letting go of limiting beliefs and surrendering to Divine inspiration in thought, word and action.
Unconditional Love
We at Unity Christ Church believe unconditional love is the ever present Source from which all-good flows in and
through our lives. Realizing and accepting our oneness with God, we extend love to all.
Spiritual Home
We at Unity Christ Church provide a nurturing community where we join together safely to discover and live the truth
of who we really are. We create this spiritual home by offering unconditional love, support, and encouragement to all.
Spiritual Family
We at Unity Christ Church recognize that we are children of God who form a spiritual family. This common bond enables
us to build authentic and trust-filled relationships. With the support of this family, we learn to take personal responsibility
for what we think and the experiences we create.
Empowerment
We at Unity Christ Church believe that empowerment is the expression of our divine birthright. Every experience we
have provides an opportunity to accept more of God's presence in our lives. We empower ourselves by choosing to
be individual expressions of God made manifest.
Giving and Receiving
We at Unity Christ Church give and receive with an open heart aware that we live in an abundant universe. As we
give, we receive from God's unlimited supply.
Christ-Based Principles
We at Unity Christ Church embrace the practical spirituality of the principles taught and demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
These Christ-based principles include loving God, loving others as ourselves and accepting our own divinity.
Joy
We at Unity Christ Church experience and radiate joy as we center our awareness in God. We extend the joy that
wells from within us through fellowship, worship, music and an infinite array of other expressions.
Unity’s Five Basic Teachings
There are five basic teachings that make up Unity’s approach to spirituality, the Bible, the teachings of Jesus, and our relationship with God. These teachings are not Creeds or Dogmas but are considered ideas and principles that provide a foundation for growth and awakening to a greater experience of God and God’s will for expanding good in our lives in the world. The teachings are:
First Teaching
God is the only power and presence in the Universe and God is good (love).
Second Teaching
The divinity (Christ ) that was fully expressed in Jesus exists as potential in every human being.
Third Teaching
The ideas, attitudes and beliefs we hold in mind are the main determining factors in the way we create and experience life.
Fourth Teaching
Through prayer and meditation we align our minds with God and bring God’s will for expanding good into expression through our emerging divine (Christ) nature.
Fifth Teaching
The Kingdom of Heaven/God that Jesus taught is meant for this world and happens as we align our minds with God’s will for Greater Good. Thus, Unity becomes an intensely practical way of life.
Our Covenant as a Community
We have agreed on this covenant, a guide to interaction within our spiritual community.
