What is Unity? Unity is a worldwide spiritual movement of churches and study centers in every state within the USA and on every continent in the world. It is a spiritual, educational organization founded more than 100 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri. Based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, Unity offers a practical approach to Christianity that helps people find deeper spiritual meaning in their lives and "live life more abundantly." We consider ourselves trans-denominational because we honor the many paths to knowing God in the world. Through Unity's ministries, people all over the world are provided with positive, spiritual messages of hope, healing, prosperity and peace. Unity publishes the well-known monthly publication, Daily Word, a magazine of daily inspirational messages that goes out to millions around the world.
Unity's Basic Teachings 1) There is only One Presence and One Power in the universe and in my life: God the Good, omnipotent. For further information, please visit the Association of Unity Churches web site. We particularly recommend the AUC's section on The 20 Questions Most Often Asked About Unity.

Additional Prayer Opportunities
We offer a Weekly Prayer and Meditation Service each Wednesday at noon. This service is modeled after Silent Unity's prayer services held at Unity Village, Missouri. Silent Unity is the international prayer ministry of Unity that was founded in 1890. Our team of Unity Prayer Chaplains provides one-on-one prayer support after every Sunday service, wellness calling to church members, and are available during the week by phone. If you have a prayer request, you may phone us at (716) 882-0391, leave a message on our Prayer Chaplains' voice mailbox (#3) and one of our Chaplains will return your call to hold prayer space with you. When visiting the church, you may leave a prayer request in the Prayer Chest located in our sanctuary. You may also email your prayer requests to us. Silent Unity also accepts prayer requests through its Telephone Prayer Ministry, at: 1-800-NOW-PRAY (669-7729). Phones at Silent Unity are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All prayer requests received at our church and at Silent Unity are considered sacred and are held in the strictest confidentiality. Pastoral visits may be requested of our minister and/or our Chaplains team.

Birth 2012
The famed 26,000 year Mayan Calendar comes to an end on December 21st, 2012. Some believe and have taught that this foretold the end of time; however, we in Unity and the New Thought Movement believe it signals the awakening of the human mind to a greater reality. Birth 2012 events took place at Unity and New Thought Centers all around the world. Unity of Buffalo is celebrating the coming of this evolution of consciousness too.
