Unity of Melbourne
Our Purpose: “We love and accept ourselves and others, and we heal our world.”
As individuals we often ask ourselves, “Who am I?” We’ve asked the same question of ourselves as a community. Knowing who we are and what makes Unity of Melbourne such a dynamic spiritual community helps us to know what we are to do. We took some time to figure this out together as a spiritual community. It was the result of an extended congregational conversation in which we sought to discern our purpose and direction.
If you consider yourself spiritual but not religious or spiritual AND religious, or you are questioning your childhood faith or simply looking for something different, Unity may feel like a homecoming.
Unity is a spiritual movement that honors all paths to God; sees God as good and everywhere present; and affirms the spark of divinity expressing as each one of us. We welcome people of all faith traditions and those searching for answers to life’s complexities through the study of spiritual teachings.
Join us every Sunday at 10:30 for inspiring celebration services, expressing our mission and values through the sermons, prayer and uplifting music.
A variety of ministries exists within the church and each provides an avenue for the expression of sacred service, so that our diverse membership can help create a world that works for all. In addition, workshops, classes and small group ministry offer the opportunity for spiritual development and new friendships.
The church contributes to the greater community with a variety of outreach programs such as adopting families to support and serve, contributing school supplies for classes and individuals who need help with their back-to-school costs, and we also support local food banks throughout the year.
We hope you will experience, as many others have, the spiritual energy, fellowship and friendship that is Unity of Melbourne, where you can grow and make many new friends.
