Decatur Unity Church Kids Youth & Family Ministry

Overview: Decatur Unity Church is where love and peace grow. Isn’t that exactly the kind of place you want to see your children develop? Our children and teens are an important part of our spiritual family. We welcome you and your family to our church home and honor your child's uniqueness by providing a well-rounded spiritual curriculum.

Our Youth Ministry Program takes place on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. in room 112 concurrent with the Adult Services. Lessons focus on spiritual truth based on Unity principles taught by experienced teachers and volunteers through stories and Biblical explorations, lively discussions, creative expression, games, song, and team building activities. Join us if you are interested in community SERVICE, SPIRITUAL development and SOCIAL connections.

The Purpose of the Youth and Family Ministry at Decatur Unity Church is to recognize the divinity in and call out the creative spirit in our youth; to embrace God’s Love in a manner which honors the unique gifts and universal connection of all; and to build a world of peace for our youth to inherit. Come experience the Joy!!!
