Unity is an idea that had its beginning over 100 years ago. However, the ideas and truth that Unity teaches are timeless. In Unity we believe that the universe and everything in it had its beginning as an idea, and that nothing exists that was not created in the mind of God.

There are five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system:

1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.

2. 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.

3. Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.

4. Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.

5. 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.

James Dillet Freeman in his pamphlet "Unity leaves no one out" writes, "All Churches, All Religious movements, are based on beliefs. They do not differ because they have different beliefs, but because they emphasize different aspects of their beliefs."

Unity emphasizes those beliefs listed above, but perhaps the greatest characteristic of Unity is that it leaves you free to practice your religion or spirituality based on your beliefs and whatever you feel is necessary to establish your own right relationship with God.

Unity is about personal spiritual growth with a focus on prayer. We are a Church for the growing, seeking, unfolding Truth student. "It was not founded to separate people into another body, bound by religious laws, doctrines, practices, and rituals. It was founded on the idea that God is within you and, therefore, your purpose in life is to express your divine potential. Everything Unity does as a Church is done to help you achieve this purpose. It accepts you where you are and for what you are, and it helps you be the child of God you were born to be."
