About Us

What we teach

 


We believe that spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:

1) God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.

2) We are spiritual beings, created in God's image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good.

3) We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.

4) There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to God.

5) Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.

About Us

Charles and Myrtle Fillmore

 The Unity spiritual movement began in the late 1800s based on prayer and the power of mind over body.

Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, a Kansas City, Missouri, couple with three young boys, had suffered lifelong physical ailments and constantly sought healing. They heard a lecture by a metaphysician named E.B. Weeks, and Myrtle came away with a startling new idea: “I am a child of God, and therefore I do not inherit sickness.”

In two years of prayer and meditation, she healed her body of tuberculosis. Charles also began to investigate spiritual principles and healed a leg that had been damaged in a childhood ice skating accident.

The Fillmores were devotees of Ralph Waldo Emerson and studied with the leading teachers of the day, including Mary Baker Eddy and Emma Curtis Hopkins. To share the exciting spiritual teachings they had learned, the Fillmores didn’t start a church but began to publish a magazine.

The first issue of Modern Thought came out in 1889 and is now called Unity Magazine®. The next year, in 1890, Charles and Myrtle formed a prayer group that is now Silent Unity, a 24/7 prayer ministry that responds to 2 million people a year through letters, telephone, and email.

Book publishing began with Lessons in Truth, still a Unity classic, and Unity Books is still active. A second magazine was initiated in 1924, Daily Word, which now circulates around the globe.

Classes taught by the Fillmores grew into a seminary, Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute, with about 600 churches and study groups worldwide.

The farm they initially established to grow produce for their vegetarian restaurant in downtown Kansas City is now Unity Village, Missouri, a 1,200-acre incorporated town and the world headquarters for the enduring Unity movement.

About Us

 Unity proudly supports the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe everyone is divine and that every person shines with the light of God! 

 At Unity Church of Flint, we are COMMITTED to developing our 12 faculties of consciousness.  Each month we focus on one of these faculties by emphasizing a disciple and corresponding color.      

  

  

  

The spiritual idea for the month of May is

Power—Self-mastery and spiritual presence.

The disciple is Philip.

He represents power over our thoughts and feelings.

The corresponding color is purple, and the location is the throat.

This month let us wear or carry something purple to remind us that we have the power to create our world.


 

INNER PEACE I release all to God. My spirit is peaceful and free. GUIDANCE I open my mind to divine inspiration and follow my divine direction. HEALING Every atom of my being is invigorated with healing life. PROSPERITY I am prospered by divine love. WORLD PEACE I am an emissary of peace and harmony
