Spiritual Storytime

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.

The Five Basic Unity Principles (Youth Version)

1. God is all good and active in everything, everywhere.
2. I am naturally good because God’s Divinity is in me and in everyone.
3. I create my experiences by what I choose to think and what I feel and believe.
4. Through affirmative prayer and meditation, I connect with God and bring out the good in my life.
5. I do and give my best by living the Truth that I know. I make a difference!

​Unikids (K-5th)

In UniKids, elementary-aged students (Grades K-5) explore spiritual principles through stories, acting, puppets, music, dance, sculpture, photography and science.  These lessons based in relevant life issues about self-knowing, using our talents, and understanding our feelings often originate from a Bible or secular story, followed by a guided discussion. The discussion encourages deeper thinking to help the students find personal meaning and direction from the story.

Show up as you are, we welcome you and your children to explore and play with us!

Nursery

Please note that the nursery will be opening soon. Official date TBD. Our Community Room at the back of the Sanctuary has toys for the littlest ones if needed.

Uniteens (6th-8th)

Uniteens is our middle school teens (6th-8th grade).  Uniteens provides a safe place for youth to connect with others and explore what they believe. The group also meet for social outings to socialize and develop healthy relationships.  Our Uniteens are also very active in Unity’s Southwest Regional Youth Ministry. They attend regional and sub-regional events designed to help them go deeper into their own spiritual understandings as well as connect on a deeper level with Uniteens at our church and others throughout the Southwest Region.

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

YOU (Youth of Unity) is an international youth group for teens ages 14-18 (grades 9-12). The purpose of YOU is to encourage and assist in the spiritual growth of all young people who are seeking to express the indwelling Christ in accordance with the principles of practical Christianity as taught and interpreted by Unity Institute and Unity Worldwide Ministries. YOU provides 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 YOUers are also very active in Unity’s Southwest Regional Youth Ministry Programs. They attend regional and sub-regional events designed to help them go deeper into their own spiritual understandings as well as connect on a deeper level with YOUers at our church and others throughout the Southwest Region.
