Philosophy

Unity Church in the Woods is a not-for-profit interfaith organization committed to empowering people by helping them develop to their full potential in body, mind and spirit. We honor all spiritual paths and make no distinction between religious orientations. We seek to be tolerant, inclusive and non-judgmental. Our facility and programs are open to all people regardless of age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or creed. We seek to create community by honoring diversity and by providing an environment where friendships can be formed and people can discover the good in others as well as themselves.

Unity is an extremely positive approach to life, seeking to accept the good in people and all of life. God is seen as having many attributes, but most important is that God is LOVE. Unity stresses that God is not a physical man in the sky for this limits Him. God is Spirit, everywhere present, the one and only Spirit behind, in and through all things, visible and invisible.

Unity seeks to relate religion to daily needs, affirming that for every need there is God's perfect answer. Its main textbook is the Bible as it relates its lessons to your life and everyday experiences.

We are a Christian Church that honors other religious paths.

Unity chooses to believe that there is good in every religion. Different religions are like spokes on a wheel with the hub being God. They may be set apart by a variance of beliefs and approaches, but they are all seeking the on God as the hub of all life. Consequently, Unity does not deny anyone the right to have his or her own beliefs. Because of similarity in names, Unity has on occasion been confused with other organizations; however, there's no connection between Unity and Unitarianism or the Unification church.

Unity Church in the Woods began 18 years ago when a committed group of Unity families had the foresight to know that a new church was needed to meet the needs of the expanding communities. Our newly completed building is an out picturing of this rapid growth and the increasing need for a community center to serve a growing number of families with children.
