Unity teacher Eric Butterworth encouraged people to look beyond limitations and discover the possibilities within themselves. His work explored how a change in consciousness can change the way we experience and participate in life.
Those ideas reached far beyond Unity churches. Maya Angelou considered Butterworth one of her spiritual teachers. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, she told the story of encountering another foundational Unity teaching and how one simple idea changed the way she saw herself and what was possible for her.
For us, that's what spiritual exploration is about.
Explore an idea. See what it opens. Discover what becomes possible.
OUR VISION
The world we envision
A world where people recognize their potential, explore new possibilities, and bring those possibilities to life.
OUR MISSION
How we move toward that world
We create an inclusive, evolving spiritual community where people explore ideas, expand their thinking, discover their potential, build meaningful connections, and put spiritual principles into action.
At Unity of New Westminster, we are curious about life, consciousness, and what might be possible.
We explore practical spiritual ideas and consider how the thoughts and beliefs we hold shape the way we experience our lives.
We bring our questions, our experiences, our beliefs — and our uncertainty. Conversation, reflection, music, laughter, creativity, and new ideas all have a place here.
We draw wisdom from many spiritual traditions as we think, question, explore, and discover together.
And we don't want those ideas to stay inside the church. We look for ways to put them into practice — in our own lives, in our relationships, in our community, and in the world.
Because an idea isn't where the journey ends. It's where something new begins.
Unity is a positive, practical spiritual movement that explores the relationship between consciousness, belief, and experience.
Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jesus and wisdom found across many spiritual traditions, Unity encourages us to think for ourselves, explore life's deeper questions, and discover practical spiritual principles that can be applied in everyday life.
Through positive prayer, spiritual practice, and community, Unity encourages us to move beyond inspiration and put spiritual principles into action in our daily lives.
At Unity of New Westminster, we believe spiritual growth naturally finds expression in compassionate action.
Together, we create opportunities to strengthen our community through volunteerism, education, environmental awareness, meaningful conversations, and partnerships.
As we expand our awareness of ourselves, one another, and the world around us, we look for practical ways to turn that awareness into action.
What we hold in consciousness becomes what we create together.
