Our Youth Ministry Mission

We nurture the spiritual growth and positive self-image of every child, youth and teen through engaging, God-centered experiences. Through meaningful, age-appropriate curriculum, we teach Unity principles in ways that are practical, empowering, and applicable to everyday life.

Our Spiritual Learning Program

Children’s Classes on Sundays

All children, youths and teens are welcome to join us! We start class at 10:30 a.m.

We offer a dynamic, nurturing and safe environment where young people learn how to explore their connection with God.

The Five Unity Principles We Teach Our Children

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 I know. I make a difference!

Service Projects

We find that one of the best ways to encourage love and kindness in youth is through “paying it forward “  and giving to others. The youth engage in projects such as making and selling birdseed ornaments to earn money to buy farm animals for people across the world who struggle to meet their families’ needs. The children have also made Valentines for Veterans and are crafting notes to accompany “Blessing Bags” for those who are unhoused. The children also make gifts for congregants on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Spiritual Retreats for Teens

Twice a year, teens at Renaissance Unity are offered the opportunity to travel to Great Lakes Unity Retreats in the Midwest, often in Wisconsin or Michigan, and are accompanied by two adult sponsors from Renaissance Unity. Lasting from Friday through Sunday, the retreats have structured agendas that feature small group discussions, learning games, meditation, and art projects centered around living Unity’s 5 Principles. They also emphasize leadership building where older youth take responsibility for leading activities that they plan and organize with adult guidance.

Our Teachers

Our children’s program is brought to life by Youth Education Coordinator Cheryl Jamison and a team of passionate Renaissance Unity Teachers. We value your children's safety above all else, which is why all our instructors undergo thorough background checks.
