“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Unity and the people I have met here. This is the first church community that I have belonged to where I instantly felt 100% accepted and connected. The messages of love, grace, and acceptance always touch my heart and impact my daily life. I love that the focus is on spiritual growth and simply being good to yourself and others.”
“I’ve been going here for nearly a year now and it is no exaggeration to say that it has changed my life. One of things I love about Unity is the acceptance and non-judgmental nature of the organization, but more importantly, of the leaders and people who call it home. There is no pretension here, just pure love and positivity (great music too!). I look forward to every Sunday, it’s my favorite day of the week!”
