The Unity movement was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. After Myrtle Fillmore’s remarkable healing utilizing prayer and affirmations, many who were seeking help became interested in how she accomplished this healing. From small prayer circles in living rooms, Unity grew. The first issue of Unity Magazine was published in 1889. The teaching of the practice of prayer, through classes and correspondence, led to the establishment of Unity School, where the prayer ministry, Silent Unity, began, along with Unity School for Religious Studies, and a publishing arm for magazines and books. These services still exist today, under the name Unity®.
In 1965, the Association of Unity Churches was formed by ministers and churches for the purpose of focusing on establishing new churches, supporting existing ones, ordaining ministers and licensing teachers. To this day, we are a worldwide movement of about 1,000 churches and groups supporting individuals on their spiritual path by offering communities of like-minded believers. |

Core values are the foundation of the organization and vital for it to be successful;
Spirit-led: We are centered in God. Spirit leads our thoughts and actions as we co-create a world that works for all.
Integrity: We act from a place of wholeness and are ethical in all our actions. We keep our word.
Diversity: We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. We promote greater understanding among people in a spirit of unity.
Transformation: We are a dynamic movement on the cutting edge of spiritual evolution. We teach universal spiritual principles that change lives.
Abundance: Living in the infinite flow of God’s good, we draw from God’s inexhaustible supply and wisely use our rich resources to serve the world.
Individuals grow spiritually when they are part of a supportive community, a church, of like-minded believers. |

1. There is only one presence and one power in the Universe, and in my life and affairs, God the Good, Omnipotent.
2. I have a spark of divinity within me, the Christ spirit within. My very essence is of God, and therefore I am also inherently good.
3. I create my experiences by the activity of my thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
4. Prayer is creative thinking that heightens my connection with God-Mind and therefore brings wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.
5. Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. I must also live the truth I know.
