Membership at UKV

Membership at Unity is a hard to define thing. Unity was not intended, by its founders to be a separate denomination within Christianity, but rather as a movement that was interdenominational and interfaith, seeking the truth of Love in this world wherever it may be found. Over the years Unity has evolved into something like a denomination, and as buildings, churches, and Unity Centers were established it seemed like a good idea to have a way to determine who would be able to vote in matters pertaining to the good of the local fellowship. Members of UKV are entitled to vote at congregational meetings, which usually occur on an annual basis in June.

Many Members of Unity Churches have "dual citizenship," meaning that members may retain membership in their original denomination or faith background. Unity has no creedal statements, nor is there a profession of faith.

Unity respects that each individual is in there own unique journey of spiritual growth and unfolding. Our approach is summed up in the 5 Basic Ideas of Unity:

We encourage people to explore and apply Unity teachings based on their own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:

1. God is good and everywhere present.

2. The spirit of God lives within each person, therefore, all people are inherently good.

3. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.

4. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to God.

5. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.

Members of Unity of Kanawha Valley are those who have a personal sake in the life, mission, and future of our local gathering. Members contribute Time, Talent, Tithes, and Prayer, for the good of the community.
