Unity History

Unity was founded in 1889 in Kansas City, Missouri, by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore. After Myrtle used prayer and affirmations to heal lifelong ailments, her friends became interested in how she accomplished the healing. The Fillmores published their first spiritual publication in 1889, and over time the Unity movement grew from small prayer circles in living rooms to the worldwide movement it is today.

Five Principles

The Unity belief system embraces five core ideas, collectively professing a panentheistic view of God and a path to spiritual fulfillment through mindfulness, practice, and love-centered call to action. ​
