We believe that there is one presence and one power in the universe and in our lives. This one presence and one power is GOOD, ever present, always available, and ever accessible.
We believe with Jesus that God is Spirit. God is not a man or a woman sitting on a throne in the sky, but an abiding presence. God is formless; unlimited and uninhibited by time, form or space.
We know God as wisdom. Being wisdom itself means that God is unchanging principle. What God is, God always has been, and will ever be. God is Love, therefore ours is a ministry of love.
Each of us is a creation of God; therefore our true essence is in keeping with the nature of our creator. We are therefore good!
At Spiritual Unity we think of God as Divine Mind and of ourselves as an idea in the mind that is God. While we may see ourselves as primarily physical beings, we are in truth first and foremost spiritual beings.
We believe that each of us, like our way shower Jesus, has within us all we shall ever need to enter into the complete knowledge and understanding of who and what we truly are – that is perfect and beloved expressions of God. To know our true Self we must first know God.
Our means of connection with God is our mind. We believe that what we think about comes about. While we may believe that we have been created and set adrift to fend for ourselves; this is not true. When we look at the world around us and our fellow inhabitants and we see illness, death, poverty, fear, evil, and despair. But when we look within us we see a world of health, life, abundance, peace, love, and joy. Jesus taught that knowing God comes as the result of our worship in Spirit and in Truth. We do not look at worship as a bowing down, but rather we see it as a looking to the source and resource of our being for the support that is rightfully ours. We utilize affirmative prayer. This means we know that there is no need to beseech or cajole God into forgiving us or giving us what we need and desire. As we worship in Spirit and in Truth we come to know what Jesus came to know; the true nature of God as Love and of ourselves as perfect expressions of this love.
As we come to know God, as God is, we will, as Jesus did, accept our rightful place in consciousness and come to express and experience only good and only love. This growth in consciousness will reveal to us the true nature of God, our true character, and our oneness with God and each other. As we grow in awareness and understanding, the Kingdom of God is revealed to us and expressed through us. For at this point, we are truly co creators with God…we are the Christ!
