We tell our children each Sunday, “We know who you are. You are the light of God.” We speak these words to remind our children and ourselves that we're created to bring forth divine life, love, and wisdom—the kingdom of heaven—right here and now, every day. At Unity Church of San Antonio, we extend this invitation: Come as you are, be who you are, and become more than you thought you could be.
Our Core Values reflect the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, the first-century teacher who so radiated the light of God that his influence has spread through the centuries and throughout the world. Jesus recognized our divine identity alongside his own. He modeled for us the Christ life; that is, to be a visible expression of the invisible divinity. Our spiritual community transforms livesby claiming the consciousness that Jesus teaches.

Our Statement of Inspiration
At Unity Church of San Antonio, we are God's light,
opening our hearts,
transforming our lives,
and celebrating the divine identity of all.
Our Statement of Intention
We radiate God's light as we minister to one another
by putting our core values into action.
We do this in every facet of church life including
worship, spiritual education and service.
Statement of Peace
Unity Church of San Antonio subscribes to the principles promoted by and
expressed in this statement by the Association of Unity Churches
International:
Unity stands for peace in the presence of conflict; for love in
the presence of hatred; for forgiveness in the presence of
injury. Unity honors the many names for God, the many
paths to God, the many ways to worship God; for there is
only one power and presence of God and God loves
each one of us equally. It is therefore the position of the
Association of Unity Churches International and Unity to
urge all nations, their leaders, and their people to turn to
God by whatever the name for guidance during these
challenging times and pursue peace, not war, for this is
what honors the God of all our faith tranditions.
Unity stands for peace in our lifetime.
Furthermore, at UCSA, we recognize everyone's divine identity and therefore
respect everyone's divinely guided perspectives when acting in accordance with
these principles. We look for the greatest spiritual truth amid a diversity of
voices rather than promoting a particular course of action politically or
socially. Instead, we promote individual action inspired by Spirit within.
As peacemakers who welcome, affirm and uphold all people, we appreciate the
individuals who are serving or who have served in the military. We stand with
them in acknowledging their commitment to freedom for all people. We
recognize their unique perspecitve on the needless cost of war and we unite
with them in a commitment to promote peaceful solutions for conflict, whether
between individuals or between nations.
Statement of Inclusivity
Unity Church of San Antonio is an inclusive spiritual community. We welcome,
affirm and uphold everyone, appreciating how the One Presence expresses in
wondrous diversity. We welcome into the full life of our spiritual community
persons of every ethnicity, language, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical
or mental ability, economic status, occupation and faith background. We bless
and honor all committed relationships and families, and welcome all who
genuinely desire to celebrate, study and serve with us.
