Unity in Buffalo was founded in June of 1944. Our church was incorporated as Unity Center of Practical Christianity, which was amended in 1967 to Unity Church of Practical Christianity. Our building was built during the late 1950s and was dedicated on February 23, 1958.
We offer prayer services (Sunday worship at 10 a.m. and Wednesday Noon Prayer service), a Youth Education program for ages 5-11, prayer support from trained Chaplains, spiritual counseling, regular groups (including A Course In Miracles and Emotional Freedom Techniques), special events, concerts, an art gallery showcasing local and regional artists, opportunities to share creative expressions, community service (including an active VOICE-Buffalo core team), our Unity Peace Park with a gazebo and labyrinth, special services (i.e. weddings, holy unions, memorial services, funerals, christenings), great music, friends, fun and fellowship - and much more!
We are committed to living from that place of knowing that our prayers have already been answered.
We believe in the innate goodness of all people ("original virtue") and that we all have a great
untapped potential within us waiting to be called upon.
We believe in the power of prayer and the power of our positive thoughts, words and deeds to make a
profound difference in the world.
