5 Unity Principles for Youth and Family Ministry 

• God is present everywhere and is the Source of all good. 
  

• I am a spark of God, and so goodness is in me, and in everyone.   
  

• I create my experiences by what I choose to think, and by what I feel and believe. 
  

• Through affirmative prayer and meditation, I connect with God and bring out the good in my life. 
  

• I do and give my best by living the Truth that I know. I make a difference!

Unity of Mesa offers a dynamic spiritual educational program for youth and children.  We promote key values such as compassion, love, gratitude, service, diversity and the applications of truth principles.  Through the use of art, music, reading, meditation, prayer and other activities, our children and youth learn the basic teachings of Unity.  We foster an atmosphere that encourages an understanding of God along with self-understanding.

"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)

​Unikids (K-5th)

 In UniKids, elementary-aged students explore spiritual principles through art, music, puppets, stories, games, meditation, and prayer.  These lessons are based in relevant life issues about self-knowing, using our talents, and understanding our feelings, and often originate from a Bible or spiritually based story, followed by a guided discussion. The discussion encourages deeper thinking to help the students find personal meaning and direction from the story. 
​

Uni-Tots
(6 weeks – 3 years)

UniTots, or Nursery, is a bright, safe and comfortable space, with welcoming attendants ready to ensure our youngest ones enjoy their Sunday morning experience. ​

Uniteens (6th-8th)

UniTeens provides a safe place for youth to connect with others and explore what they believe.  They also attend events sponsored by Unity’s Southwest Region to go deeper into their own spiritual understandings, and to connect with other UniTeens.  ​

Special Events

Occasionally we offer special events for our families. 

YOU (Youth of Unity) (9th-12th)

Y.O.U. (Youth of Unity) is an international youth group for teens ages 14-18 (grades 9-12). The purpose of Y.O.U. is to provide youth the opportunity to explore Unity’s principles and other truth teachings and to demonstrate these in their daily lives.  Youth discuss and learn a variety of spiritual teachings, attend social gatherings, and become involved in their church and community.  
 
Our Y.O.U.ers also have the opportunity to participate in Unity’s Southwest Regional events to help them go deeper into their own spiritual understandings as well as connect on a deeper level with other Y.O.U.ers.  
Each group meets for activities and social events to have fun and develop healthy relationships. Intergenerational events are also offered.  
Our young people have the opportunity to participate in leadership in Sunday morning services and in their classes and activities. ​

Our Teachers:

Our YFM team brings many talents from their professional lives as teachers, tutors, counselors, musicians, managers, social workers, caregivers, and more. All have passed a background check and participate in ongoing training. Here’s what some have said about their YFM experience: 
 
“I especially love deep chats that spark interesting discussion, and I've enjoyed hearing the perspectives from our youngsters.”  
​ 
“This ministry was such an important part of my own kids' lives growing up that I want to be sure to help other kids have a positive experience here.” 
 
“I've walked a lifelong spiritual journey, and I love sharing my tips, tricks, and a-ha moments to help the youth.” 
 
“I feel children and young people need a positive grounding direction in their lives and want to help provide that.” 
 
“I have heard that if you can explain a concept to different ages and depth of understanding then you really understand the concept yourself. I like the challenge of figuring out how to do that for the children.”
