Unity lessons are based on “a living curriculum” philosophy. This is an approach that honors the wisdom within each of us, including children. It uses questions to “draw forth” the truth one already knows by using storytelling and creative experiences. Each lesson relates to an issue in a person’s life and seeks to facilitate an experience of God that connects to their daily life.

It isn't just all about lessons! Our pre-teens and teens (Y.O.U. - Youth of Unity and Uniteens) are active in regional Unity groups and travel to conferences for fun and creative activities. It is a great way for kids to meet others from far away, get to know their peers even better, and develop leadership.
