About Us 

​

What Is Unity?

Unity is a positive, practical, and evolving spiritual movement rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the transformative power of prayer. We honor the wisdom found in all spiritual traditions and affirm each person’s freedom to walk their own sacred path. At Unity, we seek to live from love, guided by the awareness of our oneness with all life.

God

God is Spirit—the loving, creative presence and infinite intelligence that exists everywhere and within everything. We experience God as both transcendent and intimately personal. At Unity in Lynnwood, we may speak of God in many ways, including Life, Love, Light, Source, Universal Mind, Divine Presence, or That Which Is Greater—honoring that no single name can fully capture the Sacred.

Humankind

Each person is a unique and sacred expression of the Divine. Our true nature is inherently whole, worthy, and connected. We are here to awaken to and express our divine potential in meaningful and compassionate ways. We affirm that life is eternal and that our spiritual identity transcends any single lifetime. You are a spiritual being, living a human experience, growing in awareness, love, and purpose.

Jesus

We honor Jesus as a wayshower who fully embodied divine love and taught others how to realize their own spiritual nature. Rather than viewing Jesus as separate from us, we see him as an example of what is possible. In Unity, “Christ” refers to the indwelling divine presence within every person. Jesus revealed this truth—and so have other awakened teachers across time and traditions.

The Bible

Unity co-founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore approached the Bible as a rich and symbolic text, filled with spiritual insight. They explored it as history, metaphor, poetry, and a guide to inner transformation. Today, we continue to engage the Bible with curiosity, discernment, and openness, recognizing both its historical context and its enduring spiritual wisdom.

Spiritual Practice

Spiritual practice is a pathway to awakening and transformation. Through prayer, meditation, contemplation, and compassionate action, we deepen our awareness of the Divine within and around us. These practices support us in living with greater peace, clarity, and love in our daily lives.
