Unity Atlanta Church Youth and Family Ministry (YFM)
Dedicated to promoting life-long qualities that support a child’s spiritual and emotional development, as well as create a foundation for mindful living!
Our Focus:
to remind our youth that God is within us, around us, and everywhere present… and that we are loved unconditionally—no matter who we are, or who we love.
Our Purpose:
to support parents seeking a practical approach to spiritual concepts and mindfulness for their children, as well as themselves.
Our mission:
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 viewpoint that encourages one to expand their existing understanding of their own God experience.
Our teachings empower the youth to live to their Divine Potential.

Youth Of Unity (Y.O.U.) (For Ages 14-18)
The Youth of Unity (Y.O.U.) is an international youth group for grades 9th-12th whose purpose is to help youth demonstrate their Christ Light. Our Youth Sponsors encourage and nurture our teen’s spiritual growth with a focus on putting spiritual principles into practical practice.
Unity Principles • Metaphysical Teachings • Spiritual Leadership Development
- Biblical Readings
- Prayer and Meditation
- Opportunities to serve the community
- Development of spiritual leadership skills
- Weekend Retreats and Outings
Y.O.U. sponsors encourage youth leadership, fortitude, deeper spiritually exploration and an acceptance of a God guided life experience.
Y.O.U. participants attend local social outings and gatherings, plan and execute community outreach, develop fund raising plans. Y.O.U. teens have an opportunity to attend regional weekend retreats called Rally, lock-ins and trainings, spiritual leadership conferences, and International Y.O.U. held annually at Unity Village.
What are rallies?
Rallies are youth led, weekend-long retreats that encourage fellowship as well as the sharing of ideas and experiences in the framework of Unity principles. They are spirit filled and full of love and acceptance. Teens and Sponsors alike all love attending and come back with a spiritual boost called “Rally Vibrational High”!
To attend a rally, teens must be attending Y.O.U. an average of two Sundays a month and must meet service hours requirements. In support of the teen’s spiritual growth, the Church pays for 1/3 and the teens/parents pay for 2/3 of the rally and transportation fees.
Upcoming Y.O.U. Fall Rally – November 11-13, 2022
