Look Within and Be Radiant
Unity Atlanta Youth and Family Ministry
Our virtual sacred spaces promote life-long qualities that support a child’s spiritual and emotional development, as well as create a foundation for mindful living!
The focus each week is to remind our youth that God is within us, around us, and everywhere present… and that we are loved unconditionally.
The purpose of this ministry is to support parents seeking a practical approach to spiritual concepts and mindfulness for their children, as well as themselves.
The mission of Unity Atlanta’s Youth and Family Ministry is to provide our children with a safe, nurturing, loving sacred space, while learning and applying spiritual principles that can be used in everyday interactions. Teachings are presented from a practical view point that encourages one to expand their existing understanding their experience of God.
Our teachings empower the youth to live to their Divine Potential.

12/20/2020—Advent Garden Celebration:
Advent Garden is a YFM traditional spiritual walk ceremony where we celebrate our inner light that has guided us out of darkness throughout the year. We take a journey to the center to discover our gifts then return to share our radiance with each other. In the very center of ourselves, we discover our beauty and strength we offer the world. This journey is filled with wisdom and is a sacred time of reflection.
Bring a sentimental token of faith to add to the garden!
