Each Sunday we explore Unity principles and teachings in a fun, engaging, safe, and interactive environment. Our classrooms have a team of loving and dedicated volunteers who enthusiastically guide our youth through their own personal discovery of their relationship with God and how that relationship can have a positive impact on their lives. Sunday Youth Services Activities begin at 10:45 a.m. with our main lessons starting at 11 a.m. in the lower level fellowship hall. Focus for each Age Group Nursery (infant to 3 years) To demonstrate, through words and actions, that they are safe and loved just as they are. Children (4 years to 5th grade) To invite children to explore how they can let God live through them as an expression of life, love, and kindness. Teens (6th to 12th grade) to know they are inherently good and they have choices as to how they show up in this world. To be receptive to the idea that God is a mental attitude that works in and through them so they can understand they are the creator of their own world through the thoughts they give power to and what they choose to see and believe.

Our mission “is not to entertain the children but to call them out. To be always entertained is to be dwarfed and dependent. To be ‘called out’ is to follow the harmonious law of the soul’s unfoldment.”
—Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity August 1893
