Meet Our Teachers Below
During our Sunday services, your children will find a safe and loving space to meet, feel comfortable and learn the principles of Unity from our volunteer teachers.
Our teachers would love to invite your children (and you) to join our family of youth classes on Sunday mornings. We also offer Nursery care for babies & toddlers (or any children more comfortable in that setting)
Our mission is to call forth the Divine that is expressing uniquely as your child. We guide each child to recognize their oneness with God while accepting and demonstrating the principles taught by Jesus. Children are taught Unity principles with lessons that include spiritual, creative and social activities. They experience the importance of God in their lives and how much God ALWAYS loves them.
Our lessons are for all. We encourage and allow children to travel their own spiritual paths.
Children are also welcome to celebrate with us in the sanctuary.
We read the 5 Unity Principles for Children at every Service
Unity’s Five Basic Principles for Children
- God is all good and active in everything, everywhere.
- I am naturally good because God’s divinity is in me and in everyone.
- I create my experiences by what I choose to think and what I feel and believe.
- Through affirmative prayer and meditation, I connect with God and bring out the good in my life.
- I do and give my best by living the truth I know. I make a difference.
