Vision
Unity Eastside Youth and Family Ministry provides our children, teens, families and volunteers with
the spiritual tools they can use for a lifetime. We serve our youth in a loving, fun, safe and supportive
environment, which honors and respects the Christ within each human being.
Mission
- We provide a God-centered spiritual education grounded in Unity principles.
- We nurture our children and teens in a manner that allows them to explore their spirituality using
age-appropriate and creative lessons, activities and service projects.
- We enable our youth to meet the challenges of the future by becoming creative problem-solvers who
have the self confidence to live their Truth.
- We assist children and teens in discovering their spiritual gifts and learning how to use them in
service to their church, community and world.
- Our program is grounded in awareness of, respect for, and celebration of human diversity. Children
and teens learn to understand and respect other cultures, languages, and beliefs.
- We create an environment that fosters and encourages building and sustaining relationships. This
is done both within the classroom, between the various age groups, and with our adult congregation.
- We communicate our program content and philosophy to parents so that together we can lay the
foundation for living the Unity principles, and so parents can reinforce the teachings at home.
- We ensure that the time our volunteers and staffs spend with our children and teens are joyful,
spiritual, and mutually loving. We do this by providing support, training, and appreciation for the
experiences they share with them.
