Become a church Partner

Welcome Unity Colleagues:

We invite you to be one of our partners as we share with you the consciousness and four cornerstones that help small and big ministries grow with diversity in mind and inclusivity in our hearts.

We want to thank Unity Worldwide Ministries for their faith, support, and love in supporting our mission of building community with the LEAP grant, "Families are Made and Not only Born Program"

Why is our “Families are Made and Not only Born” Program important?

There are many church communities that are receding or closing, including Unity churches. The problem with some spiritual communities is we haven’t defined our consciousness, the different kinds of families we serve and the experiences to make our relationships grow.

What Unity of Oak Park is offering is a blue print so that every ministry can reveal a consciousness that grows, a plan that provides guidance for intentional actions, and support from your community members and partners.

How can Unity of Oak Park help?
Become a Partner and be part of the Families are Made and Not Only Born Program. As partners you will be able to tailor your blueprint utilizing Unity of Oak Park’s resources from our Families are Made and Not Only Born Program. Please contact us for rates and times at unity@unityoakpark.org.

Here is an outline of resources that have been developed and will be coming soon.
