Small Group Ministry

Our Small Group Ministry overview describes how this program benefits Unity churches and congregants. It also identifies Unity-friendly resources available for organizing, implementing, and creating your own seven-week lessons.

Unity's seven-week Exploration Books
Learn about the thought-provoking, interactive, and supportive design of the seven-week exploration books for Small Group Ministry published by the Association of Unity Churches International.

Minister and Organizer Resources
Minister talk references (pdf) have been compiled for each lesson of one exploration book, Cultivating God Mind Through Parables Item #1117. Help your congregation to explore the theme of this booklet on Sundays, in addition to their midweek group time.

Activity Resources
If you develop your own lesson series and want to include prayers, community-building activities, and creative experiences, you may want to check out the Activity Resources (pdf). Feel free to copy and incorporate these into lessons you create.

Share your study guides!
Also, consider sharing small group programs you have developed with others in Unity. The Info Xchange contains connections to other Small Group Ministry resources available through Unity writers and churches. Read about how to do this.
