Every faith community has ways of understanding God, life, and our place in the world. Unity’s theology invites us to explore sacred texts, spiritual traditions, personal experience, and thoughtful reflection as ways of understanding the Divine and our connection to it.
Unity’s blends Christian Teachings with New Thought Principles—emphasizing:
- Personal spiritual growth
- The power of thought
- The inner presence of the divine
It isn’t typically described as a traditional “doctrinal” theology with strict creeds; instead, it offers guiding principles meant to be practically applied in everyday life.
Unity describes God as the singular universal power–all good and omnipresent. God is divine energy, ceaselessly creating, expressing, and sustaining all creation. Through God, you live, move, and connect.
The term Christ represents the divinity within you. Jesus stands as the supreme example of the Christ presence, guiding you to a life of love and spiritual fulfillment.
In Unity you are invited to use the language that resonates with you: God, Goddess, Love, Light, Life, Universe, Spirit, Divine.
Unity draws on the Bible, especially the teachings of Jesus—honored as a Master Teacher whose life revealed what is possible when we live from our inherent spiritual nature. Unity engages the Gospels, Psalms, Pauline letters, and other biblical texts, interpreting their stories and symbols metaphysically as expressions of inner spiritual realities and states of consciousness.
Rooted in the New Thought tradition, Unity also draws on the foundational writings of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, including:
- Lessons in Truth
- The Revealing Word
- The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary
We believe truth is continually unfolding and accessible through study, reflection, and lived experience.
