UBB’s Youth and Family Ministry
Youth Program
Unity churches provide a safe place of love and acceptance, where our children and teens experience the recognition of their oneness with God. Our purpose is to create lessons and activities that invite the Divine potential in each individual to grow and expand.
While we currently do not have an active youth program, Unity by the Bay remains in contact with youth leaders at the regional level and supports their programs and conferences.
"Who will take care of the children?"
This question came to Myrtle Fillmore, Unity’s co-founder, in a dream.
“You are to take care of the children: this is your work” was the answer she heard.
“Our mission is not to entertain the children, but to call them out. To be always entertained is to be dwarfed and dependent. To be ‘called out’ is to follow the harmonious law of the soul’s unfoldment. Who meddles with the rosebud? What fingers are deft enough to pry open that marvel of folded beauty? We are wise enough to leave it alone to follow the glad law of its own unfolding, but our children! Have we dealt as wisely with these buds of marvelous possibilities? Have we always remembered that they, too, must quicken and unfold through the innate law of their own genius?”
--Myrtle Fillmore
