For over two years now I've been coming to The Unity Center, and my life is sincerely better for it. My previous review still stands, but I wanted to provide a little update on logistics. The Unity Center recently switched to just one Sunday Service at 10 a.m. which combines meditation, message and music. Before and after service, Sangha Cafe is open, as well as the Partners Fair Trade Boutique. Pet Adoption Sunday is still usually the last Sunday of the month and features all kinds of pet rescue groups (yes, cats and small animals too!). If Sunday at 10 am. doesn't work with your schedule, there's still a lot happening! Check the website for the schedule and you'll find that meditation, spiritual classes, drum circles, Life Groups and others are happening on many different days. Additionally, there's a Gift-It Program for Unity participants on Facebook where we often share things with each other. (Similar to the Buy Nothing Groups that encourage community and neighborhood sharing/gifting). Unity is for everyone. Come join us! read more

I started my Journey into faith with The Unity Center in 1988. It was called the Church of Today then. I go to another Unity church now that is closer to my home. However I am ever thankful for the foundation, knowledge, friends and personal growth I experienced attending Wendy's lessons. She is one of a kind! read more

I used to attend this Unity Church but found that their teaching of love is mostly lip service, as well as their claims of inclusivity. Only certain people are welcome and treated with respect read more

The first time I came to the Unity Center, I was so happy to finally have found a place that talks about spirituality and a higher power in the same way I have always thought of it, but didn't feel matched with the religion(s) of my upbringing or anything else I had found. I finally found a spiritual home! I love the feeling of community and inclusivity and the lack of judgment. read more

I love this place!!! Reverend Wendy Craig-Purcell the Senior and Founding Minister @ the Unity Center offers another way to find sprit. Wendy eloquently speaks to your heart and makes you think about things in a different way. I recommend checking out Unity if you are looking for something different in a place of worship and want to be connected to your inner spirit. From Unity Center Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net/web/about_unity.htm) "What is Unity? A worldwide movement founded in 1889, Unity is first--and foremost--a spiritual practice and a way of life. Unity has its philosophical roots in Christianity but is not limited to or bound by those roots. Thus, in Unity, we actively seek, study and respect the perennial wisdom and universal truths found in all the world's religions. We believe there is one God, called by many different names and found through many different paths." read more

Looking to find some peace in your week? Come to The Unity Center. 15-20 minutes of the service is meditation. Awesome! The message is always empowering, uplifting, and engaging. You can get your spirit charged up for a great week...and enjoy some inspiring music, as well. It's part college/theological lecture, part self-improvement, and part spiritual community. I feel like a better person because I've been going. Having left the Catholic Church years ago, it's a good feeling to be among others who value spirituality...without the judgment. Check out their website, or better yet, come by for an hour, or so on Sunday! Services are at 9 and 11....if you enjoy dynamic singing and a bit more of a crowd...I suggest 11! There's a bit more energy at that service...but both are valuable and worthwhile. (And both have the wonderful music, it's just the more people at the 11am service really rock the house!!) read more

I've been attending The Unity Center regularly for over a year now. I felt at home immediately. The staff is wonderful and the people are so welcoming. Unity is not a religion; it's more metaphysical. The Bible has its place but so does the Dao De Jing and Science of Mind. Jesus has his place as a master teacher, but not as a Savior. As Rev. Wendy Craig Purcell says: We were born in original blessing, not in original sin. We were born right the first time. We are all divine. We are one. If this sort of thinking resonates with you, come check out the center. There are two services. The 9:00 is quieter, more contemplative. The 11:00 is a lively, clapping, standing, greet your neighbor affair. Both have meditation time. The music is professional and fantastic! There is a program for children. (There's also Wee Wisdom Preschool during the week.) The cafe has expresso drinks, tea and homemade breads, including gluten free ones! (I love the lemon poppy seed.) Upstairs, the Fair Trade Boutique sells CDs of the message from the service, gifts, books, jewelry and more. Great shopping! There are many classes, movies, and meet ups happening during the week. There is reiki and pranic healing on Sundays. Once a month, there's a drum circle; everyone welcome. If you want to be part of a community, not just go to a service on Sunday, you have hit pay dirt! There really is something for everyone. read more

Growing up in Unity as a child has beautifully shaped the way I perceive and Live life now as an adult. I see, feel and live in abundance because I Know God is the Ultimate Provider, and I go within to find the answers I seek. Unity and The Unity Center of San Diego have instilled in me the Truth principles Jesus and ancient masters truly taught without dogma - that each of us is a Light unto the world when we align with the Christ within. Reverend Wendy is amazing, and I feel at Home whenever I'm in the sanctuary of The Unity Center. Everything, from the beautiful meditations to the soul-felt music to the lovely bookstore and staff, make up the high vibrational experience that The Unity Center continues to bless others with as well as flourish in. I am so grateful for the empowering soul of Wendy Craig Purcell, the overflowing love of this church and its beautiful congregants! Namaste unity.org - The worldwide Unity homepage read more

Beautiful morning with mindful communit My time to connect, be mindful, recharge, get lots of hugs and smiles :-) read more

A church home that welcomes all. Always an inspiring message accompanied by great music. If you're looking for a spiritually uplifting place to be ... check it out read more

The unity center is such a lovely place. If you are looking for inner truth, a stronger connection to a higher source of your choosing (God, the Light, Universe, Nature, Buddha, Jesus, WHATEVER), and / or looking to deepen your understanding of Love and your purpose in the world, this is your type of place. I love the energy and positive vibes everyone has here. I felt called to write a review because it has given me and my family a place to have new perspectives of hard times and a place to celebrate life each Sunday. read more

My wife and I began going to the unity center since 1990 and Wendy married is in late 1991. This has been our spiritual community ever since. Wendy provides relevant, effective and efficacious messages each week. Her philosophy is inclusive and welcoming of all religious and cultural backgrounds. Unity believes there is one God, and many paths. If you're looking for a less organized religious experience and a more spiritual one, this is likely a great place for you. I couldn't recommend the people and the experience more highly. read more

My Family and I have been attending The Unity Center since 2001. From the beginning, we knew what a valuable resource The Unity Center was, not only to our community, but to the whole world. Reverend Wendy Craig-Purcell is truly a gem and we appreciate how she has taught us so much about Unity. I am proud to be part of a spiritual community and path that respects all faiths and is so welcoming to help others learn more about themselves. Thank you and Namaste! read more

We love going to the Unity Center each Sunday. It's a great place to reset yourself for the week. The Sunday messages are great weekly reminders how to live a more kind and positive life. We love how this place uses examples of different world religions and how to use them into a practical spiritual (positive and meaningful) way of living. Its nice to be surrounded by others who want to grow personally and make the world a bit better. read more

Wendy Craig Purcell is a beautiful speaker and facilitator of spiritual development. If you are looking for a weekly connection that will lift you up, broaden your perspective and deepen your sense of purpose, Wendy and team will provide that at the Unity Center. The meditation is AMAZING. With a background set to live music, it is seriously one of the most beautiful experiences. The Unity Center's music team is dedicated and delivers such talent. The music seems to always pair Wend'y's message perfectly and has that element that just lifts your soul. Be sure to stick around for a latte too, and visit the great boutique upstairs. They inventory all free-trade jewelry, along with books, candles, etc. A great little shop to purchase presents for friends!! * I do think it's important to learn about the Unity movement before attending so that you can be sure your beliefs are in alignment with what they teach. There are a few things that are very different from the Christian childhood church I attended, but then again, that's exactly why I find it to be so refreshing. I love that Wendy pulls her teachings from many spiritual beliefs and teachers and does not teach there is only one way to live or believe. read more

Perhaps you have found yourself conflicted when attending other churches: drawn in by the sprit but turned off by a message that excludes everyone who does not follow the doctrines of that particular church. If so, then the Unity Center may be the place for you . The Unity philosophy holds that there are seeds of truth in all the great religions. The atmosphere at Unity Center is one of optimistic inclusion and tolerance. And the music is great. The minister, Wendy Craig Purcell is one of the best speakers I have ever experienced; her lessons come from everyday life, the Old and New Testament and other religions such as Buddism. I usually leave the Center feeling uplifted. read more

Not a church in the biblical sense of what a Christian church is. Preaches peace and love but not truth and justice. Was told by an usher "we believe in Jesus but don't believe he's that important." Be very careful. read more

Shortly after reading the book Power vs. Force in 2004 I was drawn to The Unity Center, by what seemed at the time to be an unknown visceral sensation. At the time I was an atheist, and was not extremely fond of the churches I had attended in my youth. Yet after reading Power vs. Force I became curious about spirituality. A concept that I wasn't introduced to while growing up. I walked into The Unity Center unaware of what I would find. As I explored the facility I found a book shop and to my surprise there was Power vs. Force sitting on a shelf. At that moment I felt an awakening to a new paradigm. That there must be a divine presence that binds everything, and that led me to the church in order to begin a journey of spiritual growth. Since then I have attended off and on (mainly missing due to work, but always wishing I could attend more). I have attended other churches with beautiful productions that have been very well organized, however I have yet to find another church that speaks to me the way The Unity Center has. Wendy has an unbelievable talent. She knows how to captivate & convey powerful messages with ease and grace. In addition to the epic Sunday services the church offers many other activities that are hard to find at most other churches. Such as workshops of all sorts, retreats, classes, yoga, meditation, horseback riding at their own ranch, courses, clubs, and more! Not a single person that I've brought as a guest has been disappointed and all have been moved by the congregation. As a non-denominational church we welcome all, in effort to UNITE. Do us all a favor and come see what we have to offer at The Unity Center. Namaste | Frank Pizano read more

Awesome message today on inner peace. What would it be like to create a daily "be" list rather than a "to do" list? I would be joyful, peaceful, relaxed, fulfilled, and completely content no matter the circumstances. read more

This is the best place to nurture your soul and hear some great music as well. Everyone is so kind and Reverend Wendy is a powerful, intelligent, uplifting speaker who always inspires me to be a better person. My kids enjoy the Sunday School classes and the bagels and other refreshments afterwards. I have recommended this center to a few friends and foreign exchange students we have hosted and they've all really enjoyed coming here. read more

I used to be Christian and had some bad experiences in the church. I always wanted to be a part of something and continue to grow spiritually. Some of my family is Jewish and I wanted a good mix of spiritually that accepted and loved all... this was the place. I loved the message, the meditating and the people. It feels like you are welcome and not judged! read more

This church is the most balanced, upbeat, helpful, learning environment I have ever found. Rev. Wendy is a true inspiration

I feel very blessed to have found Unity Spiritual Center. Reverend Wendy is so inspiring and the fellowship very welcoming.

I have actually been lead back to this Church/Unity several times and after it changed locations !! Amazing to me. I believe that was divine intervention. Wendy is an amazing speaker and very knowledgeable on many religions. The Center believes that there is ONE God and many paths and as a 'unit' we respect that. Most of us, including Wendy had a very one path faith growing up. It's more Bible based than anything I think, but I love the fact that I'm always learning, loving and leaving inspired. read more

This is my favorite spiritual center. Open, inclusive and welcoming to all. Join us at 9 or 11 each Sunday.

I have been attending The Unity Center for over 20 years-with my husband and my now grown kids. Coming from a Lutheran upbringing, and not ever really bonded with the strict doctrine of traditional churches, I found The Unity Center to be refreshing and fitting my personal thoughts/ideas of a loving/guiding spirituality. The music is always professional and inspiring, the 'talks' are progressive, interesting, and thought provoking, the people I've met are open minded and positive....just a lovely way to start my week. Thank you Rev Wendy Craig Purcell, and all who help make this a wonderful, heartfelt, loving community! read more

When I need a spiritual reset, I try to make it to Unity. I feel blessed to have close access to such a broad minded, nonreligious group to enjoy Sunday service with. It's nondenominational and emphasizes principals from many spiritual works and teachers. They even have child care and Sunday school for all ages and are equipped to handle my triplets. :) read more

Beware False Teachings and this place as my experience being told to come to the service and be silent and nothing more, no love or light of Jesus Christ and Gods will be done. read more
