Membership

Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer.  Unity honors the universal truth in all religions and respects each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path.

 

“A member of Unity Church of Wimberley will endeavor to live in accord with the principles of love and truth as taught by Unity and further the work of this ministry through active attendance, love, and support through tithing of time, talent, and treasure.” - Unity of Wimberley ByLaws

 

BASIC UNITY PRINCIPLES

God is (Oneness): There is only one Presence and one Power active in the universe and in our lives: God, the Good, Omnipotent.

I am (Inherent Goodness): Human beings are inherently good because their essence is of God—a spark of divinity often referred to as the Christ spirit within.

I think (Co-creation): Human beings create their experiences through the activity of their thinking and beliefs, acting as co-creators with God.

I pray (Alignment): Through affirmative prayer and meditation, we connect with the Divine, aligning our minds with God to bring forth good.

I live (Application): Knowing and understanding the spiritual principles is not enough; we must live the truth that we know through our thoughts, words, and actions.
