Read MoreAbout Unity of Wichita
Local History
Unity of Wichita has been serving the Wichita community since 1936. Initially called Unity Center, meetings were held in private homes until 1938 when the group moved to the historic Eaton Hotel, meeting both on Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings, until 1946. The community then moved to a more private location at Victor Place until the sanctuary we now know as Unity of Wichita was built in 1954.
Fillmore Lectures
Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, lectured throughout the United States and Canada during his lecture circuit from 1936 to 1946. During this time-frame, Charles made 4 visits to Wichita, each time drawing a larger and larger audience. Charles lectured locally twice in 1938, again in 1942 and lastly during his final rounds of lectures in 1946.
Strong Leadership
Unity of Wichita has celebrated several periods of strong Unity spiritual leaders. Rev Carl Moran and his wife Lois served for over 30 years, Rev Marlyn White for 24 years, Rev Cynthia Lippert for 7 years, and Rev Tim Lytle for 8 years. This stability served to lay a sound foundation for the Unity teachings, steeped in the power of prayer and the power of our thoughts.
Giving
Unity of Wichita is financially supported primarily by gifts from you.
These gifts support not only the Spiritual Programs of this wonderful community but they allow us to continue to be a sanctuary to all who step through the doors of our building and walk these grounds. The staff and Board of Trustees recognize the importance of each gift and we are grateful beyond measure. We know that your financial support says that you stand with us in continuing our Mission to inspire Spiritual Growth and Universal Harmony. We are always grateful for the gifts you bring to Unity of Wichita through your prayers, participation, communication, investments and visions for our community. Participating in our Consistent Giving Program allows us to thrive collectively and individually.
We are so GRATEFUL!

TESTIMONIALS
"First house of god where I felt guided instead of pushed. My family has need of spiritual health care and it feels safe at unity. First church where I wished it lasted longer. They seem to speak to us and not at us. The preacher or paster is enjoyable. Never want to get out of bed but always happy I do.".
John P.
"I always feel right at 'hOMe' in Unity anywhere I go...and the Wichita Family is always on the right track when I visit. Blessed Be."

"Unity is the first church where I really felt comfortable and not leaving after the service with my "tail between my legs" feeling like I had done something wrong. I love going there, I love the people especially Pastor Tim and I love being involved in the church!!! Thank you Unity for filling my life."
