Unity of Salem's Vision Statement

Unity of Salem's Mission Statement

Unity of Salem has been in its present location since 1975. Our property consists of nine acres on which rests our church (formerly a private home), our Rainbow Cottage Bookstore, and an office/classroom modular. Our sanctuary seats approximately 125 people and we are currently looking to expand our facility by building a new sanctuary.  Each Sunday we offer coffee, tea and/or hot cocoa in our Gathering Place before and after the service. 

We also have a full-size meditation labrynth as well as walking paths, a gazebo and benches to rest on our 9 acres.  We have just started a meditation grove, with the donation of native Oregon trees and will be continuing to add to our nature habitat Oregon native plants and trees.  There is also a community garden set up for use of our congregation to enjoy summer fruits and vegetables.  

Unity of Salem is a growing and vibrant community in service to its congregation and community.  We strive to put our vision statement into practice by encouraging leaders, offering opportunities for people to serve in their church activities, and continually fostering a spirit of community.

Our goal is to provide an environment that encourages people to heal and stretch their emotional and mental bodies and to expand their spiritual understanding. We believe that internal work empowers individuals and helps them achieve healthier, prosperous and more creative lifestyles.

Music

We are pleased to offer a full music program. On most Sundays we have a band play during the service.  We also have a choir, soloists and guest musicians that perform during the services and perform concerts throughout the year. Adults and children participate in our choir and as song leaders.

We have a non-auditioning choir, so anyone who likes to sing can join and practices are held for several weeks before each performance.  Please watch the schedule and upcoming events to learn about rehearsal dates and times.

Each Sunday, our youth program begins with a music director leading our children in song.  The youth program also has started a Bell Choir who will perform for special Sunday services.

Choir practices at 7 p.m. each Wednesday. We have a non-auditioning choir, so anyone who likes to sing can join.

Youth

Unity provides services for adults and youth. We offer a Sunday youth program with a wonderful team of qualified volunteer teachers and assistants, along with excellent teaching materials for tots through teens.

We have youth activities for children and young adults from early childhood to age 18. Child care is available at both services. Our youth program is during the 10:30 a.m. service.

The Bookstore

Our bookstore offers a wide range of metaphysical, Unity and self-help books, tapes, CDs, and greeting cards. We also have a lending library.
