WELCOME

We are happy that you’re interested in Center of Unity!  We have so much to offer and you’re invited to visit our Sunday services, our classes and any special events we host.  You’re also encouraged to explore our website and if you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.  By experiencing the fullness of our spiritual community, you’ll have an opportunity to determine if we are a fit, as we are for so many.  You’ll find that we will always welcome you, free of judgement and full of love!

What Makes Us Different

COU is a different kind of church experience.  We are a spiritual center for inspiration and transformation, teaching and living principles that are life-enhancing, affirmative, and practical.  Reaching beyond that of traditional churches, our philosophy and teaching is based first upon the life and teaching of Jesus.  Concurrently, we are dedicated to teaching the foundational affirmative principles of Charles Fillmore.   Further, we draw insight from a broad spectrum of New Thought and other contemporary spiritual teachers and authors.  We are an exciting spiritual family that accepts everyone free of judgement and full of love.  You will love the COU experience.

We Are An Affirming Community, Embracing All People

Center of Unity is a community with a vision of touching others with the Christ Light and growing together on a journey of awakening. We see ourselves as both a church and a spiritual center striving to live out our vision of being free of judgment and full of love.

Sundays at COU

Our Sunday Service at 10:30 a.m. has several parts.  We start with the congregation singing the week’s two joy songs, followed by a welcome, meditation, and talk.  When the talk is over, a collection is taken during which we’re entertained with musical talent.  Most often, Bob Snook, our wonderful pianist, does one of the songs and a guest does the other.  This is also the time during which new guests are welcomed.  Last, but by no means least, the children come in from Youth Ed and share what they’ve learned.

You’re then invited to Fellowship Hall to meet people and to have coffee or tea and a snack.  That’s it!  It’s our hope that guests will take advantage of all that is offered on a Sunday and at other times.  It’s the best way to get a feel for all that is offered here.

COU COMMUNITY SPEAKS

Members of our community share a message about how COU has inspired spiritual growth in their lives.

How it all started...

In 1982, a group of friends sitting at a kitchen table were inspired to begin Unity Church of Northeast Tarrant County, a church where people could take a positive and practical approach to Christianity.  In 1997 we moved to our current location at 1650 Hughes Road in Grapevine, Texas.  In 2016 we changed our name to Center of Unity (COU).  In 2018, our founding minister, Reverend Carol Record retired.

We are affiliated with Unity Institute, Unity Village, the Daily Word, the International Association of Unity Churches, and Silent Unity, the worldwide prayer ministry.

Our Mission

We inspire spiritual growth through prayer, education, and sacred service.

Our Vision

Centered in God, we envision a world free of judgment and filled with love.

Our Core Values

Unity is part of the larger New Thought movement that started in the 1800's and continues to grow today.  Without the heavy dogma, judgment and rigidity of some traditional churches, Unity is a positive, practical, progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the power of prayer.  We honor the universal truths in all religions and respect each individual’s right to choose a spiritual path.
  • Spirit-led: We are open to guidance from Spirit and seek it in all that we do.
  • Service: We lovingly serve our spiritual community and the community at large.
  • Inclusive: We embrace the unique and diverse experiences of everyone.
  • Joy: We express deep and abiding feelings of peace and delight, acknowledging the Christ in each of us.
  • Prosperous: This church receives and accepts abundance in all forms, including friendship, financial good, and prosperity.

Unity Principles

Each day we create the environment and opportunities for personal transformation through our practice of spiritual principles.
There is one presence and one power in the Universe;
God the Good, omnipotent.
The divinity is in all humankind.  
Jesus was not the exception, rather the example.
We have direct access to God through prayer and meditation.
We create our life experiences through our way of thinking, feeling and acting.
We can demonstrate now the good we desire.
