Youth and Family Ministry

Mission Statement

Our goal and purpose is to provide a loving environment that allows the children and youth to grow spiritually based on the universal laws of God's Love, to help the children recognize their oneness with God while accepting and demonstrating the principles taught by Jesus Christ.

Welcome

Welcome!!! The Youth and Family Ministry at Unity in Webster would like to invite your children (and you!!) to join our family of youth classes on Sunday mornings. Children are dismissed from our 10:30 service for about 25 minutes of Sunday School then rejoin the service to learn from our exciting guest speakers.

We use the curriculum based on the "Basic Unity Principles of A Living Curriculum." Our firm belief is that children should be allowed to use everyday practical experiences to develop core values that will help them to embody spiritual principles.

Five Basic Unity Principles for Children

• The only true power in the Universe is God; and God is good.
• The Christ is alive in me and in everything.
• Through the power of God, my thoughts can change my life.
• I can choose to let go of hurtful things. I can choose to think loving thoughts.
• I can talk to God. I can listen to God. I can use the Truth I am learning.

"Our mission is not to entertain the children, but to call them out. To be always entertained is to be dwarfed and dependent. To be 'called out' is to follow the harmonious law of the soul's unfoldment. Who meddles with the rosebud? What fingers are deft enough to pry open that marvel of folded beauty? We are wise enough to leave it alone to follow the glad law of its own unfolding, but our children! Have we dealt as wisely with these buds of marvelous possibilities? Have we always remembered that they, too, must quicken and unfold through the innate law of their own genius?" - Myrtle Fillmore, Co-Founder of Unity
