About Unity

Greetings Friends,

As a Unity minister I am often asked what denomination I'm with, or if I'm nondenominational. When I say Unity, the questions continue.

Unity was officially founded in 1889, though the prayer work had been going on for some time. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore cofounded Unity, though they did not set out to found a church. Myrtle began her prayer work for her own healing. Charles' interest was peaked when he saw Myrtle's results. Through the years, we have developed five basic principles upon which we can agree. They are:

* God is everywhere equally present and all good.

* The presence of God dwells within each person.

* Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginnings in thought.

* Prayer and meditation are the direct link with Mind/Heart of God.

* Knowing the Laws of Truth is not enough. A person must live the Truth he/she believes.

My personal journey with Unity began in 1985, and I was ordained a Unity Minister in 1993. My mission is to live and share the truth that I know.
