Unity Charlottesville

Unity is a world-wide movement that was founded in 1889 by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in Kansas City, MO, as part of the growing New Thought movement in America. We refer to ourselves as “culturally Christian and universally inclusive,” meaning that historicaly, our primary inspiration has been from the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. However, we recognize truth in all of the world’s sacred scriptures and faith traditions and view each person as a unique expression of the divine energy we call God (by many names). We affirm each week that we recognize the Divine within each person while honoring the Truth in all spiritual and religious paths. Currently, there are nearly 1,000 Unity churches and study groups around the world. Unity of Charlottesville has been part of the Charlottesville, Virginia area community since 1978.
