What are Unity’s basic teachings?

The basic ideas that underlie Unity are known as the Five Principles.  They are:

1. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere.
2. We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. 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.

We believe your spiritual life is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation, and we encourage you to discover these teachings by incorporating them into your own spiritual understanding.
