Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, judgment-free, supportive, encouraging, and nurturing environment for our children, teens, and families to fully experience the recognition and acceptance of their oneness with God, each other, and the fullness of life.

Unity Living Curriculum
Our curriculum is based on the wisdom of our co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore who said“we are here to help bring forth the divine within our children."
A Living Curriculum is designed to ‘draw forth’ the truth. We facilitate this through the sharing of bible stories and other ancient wisdom and activities including movement, storytelling, crafts, activities, discussion, and creative expression.
Each lesson relates to an issue in a person’s life and seeks to facilitate an experience of God connected to their life.
“[Our] mission … is not to entertain the children but to call them out. …To be ‘called out’ is to follow the harmonious law of the soul’s unfoldment.” - Myrtle Fillmore

Giving Back
Giving Back is a meaningful part of our spiritual journey - It's a way to stay in the flow of prosperity by supporting the place that nourishes your spirit.
Our Youth and Family programs thrive thanks to the generous support of our community. We encourage children to bring a small offering as a way to learn and take part in the joy of giving.
“Because this is given in love, it is blessed to the giver, blessed to the receiver, blessed to the cause.”
- Unity Co-Founder Myrtle Fillmore
