Who we are
We are families, singles and couples: people of all ages
who come from all walks of life. Together, we are discovering a way of life
that gives us peace of mind, health, prosperity, and loving, more meaningful
relationships.
We belong to the Association of Unity Churches, and are
affiliated with Unity School of Christianity, publishers of Daily Word.
what we believe
Unity is positive, practical Christianity that teaches the effective, daily
application of the principles of Truth taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ.
We believe that:
- God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring
power. God is good and present everywhere.
- We are spiritual beings, created in God's image. The spirit of God
lives within each person; therefore all people are inherently good.
- Our thoughts deeply influence our life's direction.
- There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our
connection to God.
- Knowledge of spiritual principles is not enough. We must live
them.
community service
We serve the community through:
- worship services
- youth education
- classes and workshops
- prayer and meditation
- an active prayer team
- home visits
- a well-stocked spiritual bookstore
- involvement in community projects
- co-sponsoring the Ames Community Christmas Dinner
- and more!
Our Unity heritage
Unity is a world-wide religious and educational movement of over 1,000
churches and study groups. Its foundation and principles are dedicated to
teaching and demonstrating the spiritual truth of life as taught by Jesus
Christ.
The Bible is seen as our story, with practical lessons for our everyday life
and experience. Thus the teachings of Jesus are as valid for us, today, as
they were 2,000 years ago.
Unity stresses the spiritual unity of all humanity, and acknowledges God's
spirit in all people. Thus, Unity accepts and respects statements of truth
from all religions.
