Unity of Columbia's Five Basic Principles
​
1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.
2. Our essence is of God, and therefore we are inherently good.
3. We create our experience by the activity of our thinking.
4. Prayer and meditation are the highest form of creative thinking.
5. Knowing and understanding these principles are not enough. We must also live the truth we know.

Unity’s Statement of Social Action Position
​
This stand is the foundation of social action in the Unity movement, where "social action" identifies the actions we take for communal well-being. Our collective wisdom and creativity combine to bring freedom, peace, love, equity, and justice into the world, in ways we cannot imagine when we are working in solitary and siloed ways. We are stronger together.
​
Our commitment to social action means we are committed to inspiring and encouraging each other in expressing our Divine Nature that we are Oneness individually and collectively. When we act from our Divine Nature, we boldly claim our Divine Identity moment by moment, choice by choice through the highest spiritual principles in everyday situations. It means we are called to make a difference in our larger communities, to serve, awaken, support and partner with anyone who faces injustice and oppression.
​
Where there are divisions of opinions, beliefs, and perspectives, Unity embraces and cherishes the diversity of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective. This commitment extends to caring for our earth home and environmental sustainability.
​
Where there is fear of another, Unity strives to foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, standing for everyone's right to create a life of their own choosing.
​
Where this is oppression and hatred, we pledge to be an advocate for the well-being, respect, and civil freedom of every human being.
​
Any action that seeks to discriminate against individuals or classes of individuals based on prejudiced, stereotypic profiles of national origin, class, creed, race, ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation or gender identity is in opposition to the core beliefs and values established by our founders.
​
We are stronger together when we recognize the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life. This is the foundation on which we stand when engaging in social action to demonstrate and live out our commitments to freedom, peace, love, equity, and justice—our communal well-being.
Unity's Statement Honoring Diversity
​
