The Gifts of Imperfection
Your Guide to a Wholehearted Life
Sundays 10:30 am
Join us on Sundays at 10:30 am beginning April 23 as we begin our new series based on the book, “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brene Brown.
This book is an invitation to join the movement that starts with each of us saying, “My story matters because I matter.”
This book is an invitation to join the movement that starts with each of us saying, “My story matters because I matter.”
It’s about the lifelong journey from, ‘What will people think?' to 'I am enough.' Brown's unique ability to blend original research with honest storytelling makes reading The Gifts of Imperfection like having a long, uplifting conversation with a very wise friend who offers compassion, wisdom, and great advice.

An Overview of COU
Get to know more about what makes us different.
Who We Are
COU 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, and we make available a wide range of experiences for spiritual development.
Our community is varied and inclusive, and we strive to live out our vision of being Free of Judgment and Full of Love. In addition to our regular Sunday worship service, we offer a Prayer & Meditation room, a bookstore, multiple online discussion and learning groups, spiritual programs, seminars, musical experiences, children’s programs, and much more.
Our caring board and staff, as well as numerous volunteers help propel our mission forward.

What To Expect
You will be greeted at the Welcome Desk and given a bulletin, which are also available via a QRCode. You will then be taken on a tour of the church. If you have children in your life, you and they will be taken to Youth Ed where you’ll be introduced to the teachers. If children won’t be joining you, you’ll be shown key areas of the church and will be introduced to others along the way. You’ll be asked to sit wherever you’re comfortable sitting and the Ambassador will most likely let you know where to find them during and after the service.
A typical service will last about 60 minutes. We sing a good mix of contemporary and traditional music that is led by our worship team.
After service, you’re invited to visit Inner Journey Bookstore to find items for your holistic and spiritual health needs or our Prayer & Meditation room where you can find a quiet space for reflection and connection. There's also a labyrinth at the back of the property for you to walk.
That’s it! It’s our hope that you 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.

What's 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 judgment and full of love.
Our 10:30 am Sunday Service has several parts. We start with the congregation singing a couple of 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 will love the COU experience!

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.
