A Community of Spiritual Seekers
Unity Center for Spiritual Living is more than a traditional church; it is a community of spiritual seekers that support one another in our life journey. We enjoy being part of an intentional spiritual community.

Our Core Values-Authentic Relating
  1. We value the Divinity inherent in each of us and expressing through us.
  2. We embrace the path of love.
  3. We respect each individual's autonomy in matters of spirit.
  4. We treasure depth and authenticity in relationships.
  5. We appreciate the sacred nature of all our relationships within this community.
  6. We seek transformation and personal growth.
  7. We yearn to know truth as understood in Unity and New Thought.
  8. We appreciate the opportunity to offer sacred service.
  9. We believe that we make a difference and that our lives have meaning.

Our Core Values-Prosperity Consciousness
  1. We value the authentic contribution of each person.
  2. We believe that for each person and each situation there is a perfect balance between committed action and flowing with ease and grace.
  3. There is always enough time, love, energy and money for everything that is truly ours to do.
  4. Any perceived problem can be resolved through a transformation of our consciousness.
  5. Our thoughts are co-creative. Under the Law of Circulation what we put out into the Universe is what we receive.

  7. We believe that prayer, visioning, gratitude and tithing are powerful practices in the Law of Circulation.
  8. We thrive as our actions align with Spiritual Principle. Spiritual understanding is expansive and draws us to our good.

Our Beliefs
Unity Center for Spiritual Living believes in embracing diverse individuals from all walks of life. We are affiliated with the Unity Movement, a nondenominational 100-year tradition honoring the divine in all and the wisdom of diverse spiritual paths.

Unity is best known for the popular publication “The Daily Word”, which offers daily inspirational writings, and for Silent Unity, a free 24-hour prayer service.

Unity’s basic teachings encourage people to explore and apply Unity teachings based on their own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation.

The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
  1. God is good and everywhere present.
  2. The spirit of God lives within each person, therefore, all people are inherently good.
  3. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking.
  4. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our connection to Spirit.
  5. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them.

Community-Based Model
One of the more progressive aspects of Unity of Corvallis is the manner in which we operate as a spiritual community. We have come to call it the “Community-Based Model.” We do not claim to have perfected a community-style church and so, in calling it a model, we infer that it is still open to change, experimentation and growth.

The basic tenet of our community-based model is that the church is led and co-created by the members attending. We create a context for each to express their unique light and love, and for each to pursue their passion as it relates to the church's unfolding.

Honoring Diversity Within The Unity Movement
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. Therefore, we recognize the importance of serving all people within the Unity family in spiritually and emotionally caring ways. We strive for our ministries, publications, and programs to reach out to all who seek Unity support and spiritual growth. It is imperative that our ministries and outreaches be free of discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, creed, religion, national origin, ethnicity, physical disability, or sexual orientation. Our sincere desire is to ensure that all Unity organizations are nondiscriminatory and support diversity. We actively ordain gay, lesbian and bi-sexual ministers and welcome gay, lesbian and bi-sexual individuals and couples.
