Unity began in 1889 in Kansas City, Missouri, and has grown to over 600 centers/churches and study groups around the world.  It's founders, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, had personal experiences of God which demonstrated in the outer world as physical healing, guidance, and abundant prosperity.

Unity is a link in the great educational movement inaugurated by Jesus Christ; our objective is to discern the truth in Christianity and prove it. The truth that we teach is not new, neither do we claim special revelations or discovery of new religious principles. Our purpose is to help and teach mankind to use and prove the eternal Truth taught by the Master."
