Unity’s Five Basic Principles

1. GOD IS: God is the only Presence in the Universe.  God is GOOD, God is omnipotent.  God is all there is.
2. I AM: I AM an expression of the One God.  I am spirit.  I am holy and I am one with God… there is no separation.
3. I THINK IT: I connect with my Source, with God through my thoughts.  My thoughts are creative, and I can create sorrow and pain through thinking I am separate from God, or I can remember my oneness with Source.
4. I PRAY IT: We connect with God and Good. And all that is through prayer and meditation. It is through prayer and meditation that we remember our oneness.
5. I LIVE IT: Knowing all of this is not enough…  I live it daily.  I remember God and goodness and Oneness.

UCOH Focus Groups:

The Transition Team is hosting several focus groups to explore how this community can fully engage together in living its vision, mission, and core values, and work co-creatively to build the future of Unity Church of the Hills. These groups are limited to 12 participants, so registration is essential. Two in person groups will meet on Sunday, July 14 at 1:00 in Room 129.  There will be a zoom group meeting on Monday, July 15 at 7:00, and there will be two more in person groups meeting on Sunday July 21 at 1:00 in Room 129.
