Will I Fit In Here?

You belong here. Yes, you.

We're a Wild Soul Sanctuary—a spiritual community for people who are spiritual but not religious, people who don't do church, and people who've been burned by traditional religion. We're LGBTQ+ affirming, multi-generational, and radically inclusive. No judgment. No membership requirements. No pressure. Come once, come every week, or come when you need us. You decide.

What Happens During Service

9:45 AM

Arrive & Get Settled

Free parking on-site. Grab coffee or tea in the foyer. Our hospitality team will greet you with a warm hello—no pressure, just genuine welcome. Find a seat anywhere you like.

Music & Opening

We begin with live music to open our hearts. Sing along if you like, or just listen and breathe. This is your time to settle in and be present.

10:15 AM
🧘

Meditation

A guided meditation to center ourselves. First time meditating? Perfect. Just close your eyes, breathe, and be. There's no wrong way to do this.

Message & Teaching

Our Spiritual Leader shares inspiring, thought-provoking spiritual wisdom—not a sermon. We draw from Unity principles, ancient wisdom traditions, contemporary thinkers, and real life. Expect to be moved, not preached at.

11:05 AM
🙏

Affirmative Prayer

Unity's signature practice—positive, life-affirming prayer that aligns us with divine good. We affirm what's possible rather than beg for change.

Connection Time

Service ends, but community begins. Stay for healthy snacks and conversation in the foyer. Meet people, ask questions, or slip out whenever feels right. No obligation to stay—no judgment if you leave.

What Should I Wear?

Come as you are. Seriously.

  • Jeans and a t-shirt? Perfect.
  • Yoga pants? Great.
  • Dress from your church days? Also fine.
  • Whatever makes you comfortable.

We care about your heart, not your outfit.

What About Kids?

Families are welcome.

Soul Shiners (Ages 5-12): During service, kids can join our children's program for fun, age-appropriate spiritual learning. They'll return to you after service.

Younger children: Welcome to stay with you in the sanctuary. If your child makes noise, we smile. You're not disrupting anything.

No kids? You're equally welcome. We're multi-generational with space for everyone.

Quick Questions

Is Unity Christian?

Sort of. Unity has Christian roots and honors Jesus as a master teacher, but we're not exclusively Christian. We draw wisdom from all spiritual traditions—what we call Open Source Spirituality. All paths honored here.

Do I have to believe in God?

Not the way you might think. We use many names for the sacred: God, Spirit, Divine, Source, Universe, Love. Call it what resonates—or don't name it at all. What matters is your openness to something greater.

Will you try to convert me?

Nope. We're not in the conversion business. We share spiritual principles that work. You decide what resonates. No pressure, no judgment.

Can I just leave after service if I want?

Absolutely. Some people stay for connection time, some slip out right after the closing music. Both are completely fine. Do what feels right for you.

What if I don't agree with everything?

Good! We don't expect you to. Unity honors individual spiritual authority—you get to discern your own truth. Questioning is sacred here.
