About
Our Spiritual Community
Welcome
To Our Web Site
We
are very happy that you're visiting our site.
We also encourage you to visit our church and experience the warmth, peace,
and love of God that is expressed through the people there. Our Church is
dedicated to supporting people in healing and transforming their lives through the study and application
of the practical principles of Christianity. These principles are eternal
truths that are inherent in the teachings of Jesus and all great spiritual
masters. In Unity, they have been identified and interpreted by our
co-founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, and generations of Unity
teachers. We recognize that our understanding of spiritual Truth is always
evolving, and we know that the power of love, forgiveness, prayer
and meditation can create healing, prosperity and healthy relationships in our
lives. See our
Unity at a Glance page for more information about our beliefs.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, Unity is a safe
place. You will not be judged based on your past behavior, but honored for
the steps that have brought you to the threshold of your next spiritual
awakening. You are welcome to participate in our services as you choose
and to give in love as you are led to do so. No
one will call upon you, or infringe upon your privacy.
You
are a child of the Universe, a creation and expression of the One Creative
Intelligence that forms and sustains all there is. Your birthright is joy,
peace, health, prosperity and abundant love.
We salute the beauty, goodness and spiritual power in you!
Our Sunday Service
Our
Sunday Service is held at 10:00 a.m. at our church, located at 147 Walton Ave., Hyannis, MA. Visitors are always welcome!
See our Sunday Service page, or our
Contacts/Directions page if you need some help finding us.
What
About Sunday School?
Our
Sunday School provides age-appropriate spiritual education, social interaction,
and opportunities for community service. Children are supervised continuously
by trained volunteer teachers and assistants from the congregation. We encourage children to attend Sunday School held in our new basement facility during the service and invite them join the congregation for the closing. However, children are also welcome in the main sanctuary, provided they do not disturb the other members of the congregation.
Our Bookstore
Our
Bookstore
is open before and after the Sunday service.
A variety of books, including best sellers, Unity publications and
pamphlets, as well as tapes and CDs may be purchased.
The
Daily Word , Unity Magazine, our newsletter and flyers on
church and community activities are also available.
If you are interested in ordering a specific book please see the Book
Store Volunteer. Audio CDs of each Sunday service
may be ordered at the bookstore.
Is
There A Prayer Ministry?
There
are individual prayer request forms available inside the Sunday bulletin and on
the information table. You may place your completed form in the Prayer Request Box
which is available each Sunday. Our
Minister is the only one who reads your prayer requests, so please know that each request is confidential. You may also make an on-line prayer request
The requests are held in prayer by the minister for one week and then forwarded to Silent Unity, Unity's
world-wide prayer ministry, where they are held in prayer for an additional thirty
days. You may also mail your prayer
requests directly to Silent Unity, Unity Village, MO 64065, or you may call them
at (816) 969-2000.
If you have an urgent need and no means of paying for the call, dial the
toll free number, (800) 669-7729. You
may also e-mail Silent Unity from our links page.
Classes
Unity
is described by its co-founder Charles Fillmore as the next great evolutionary
step in the educational movement inaugurated by Jesus Christ, and spiritual
education is at the core of our ministry. Class
schedules posted on the Events page, are published in the Sunday bulletins, or you can call the church office for the current class offerings.
Other
Activities
We
celebrate a social hour after each Sunday service and
potluck dinners are held periodically throughout the year. There
are also a wide variety of special events. Please check our Events page, or the bulletin provided during the Sunday service for specific information.

Joining Unity
Church of the Light
Please see our Membership page for information on the requirements for joining our church. Brocures are also available on the information table on Sunday mornings.
New members are approved at the monthly Board of Trustees meeting at which time you become a voting member of the congregation.
Membership is only required for voting, not for participation in the
activities of the church. However, taking this step is a commitment to
your spiritual growth through the Unity path, and to supporting the church as
you are called to do so.
How Is The Church Administered?
The
Minister and the Board of Trustees make administrative decisions.
The Minister is a voting member of the Board.
The members of the church elect the Board at our annual meeting, which
is held in January.
How Is
The Church Financed?
The
Church’s only sources of income are tithes, gifts, and love
offerings. A small amount of revenue is
derived from book sales. Unity Church of the Light does not receive any financial support from Unity
School of Christianity,
or from the Association of Unity Churches.
Volunteering
We offer abundant opportunities to grow spiritually through service to others. These include volunteering within the church as a greeter, bookstore assistant, or Sunday School teachers. We are also beginning to
plan for community service projects involving the entire church. All Volunteer activities
include necessary training and ongoing support.
Time commitments vary with the position chosen. But the main
qualification is a desire to further your spiritual development by sharing your
unique, God-given gifts and talents.
See our Share the Joy page for more details on the volunteer programs.
What About Spiritual Counseling?
Our Minister is available for spiritual counseling.
An appointment can be made by calling the church office.
All counseling is offered on a love-offering basis.
