carries with it the possibility of its fulfillment in expression."

Membership: A Conscious Commitment
At Unity of Fort Lauderdale, we see spiritual growth as a journey of conscious evolution. Each stage builds on the one before:
1. I Found Out: You discover us through a friend, social media, our website, or a past service.
2. I Feel Something: You begin experiencing Sunday services, prayer, the Daily Word, and our CommUnity.
3. I Want to Understand: You explore Unity Basics, the Five Principles, the Twelve Powers, and our classes.
4. I Do the Inner Work: You deepen through our Spiritual & Emotional Maturity (SEM) class series, shadow work, and Sacred Service discernment.
5. I Serve from Fullness: You step into Sacred Service, membership, and leadership.
Membership lives in this fifth stage. It grows naturally from experiencing, understanding, and doing the inner work. When we serve from fullness, our commitment flows from soul growth and a genuine connection with our teachings and our CommUnity.
Coming from Another Spiritual Community?
We're glad you've found us! Every ministry has its own culture and way of living the teachings, and ours is centered on soul growth, spiritual and emotional maturity, and conscious participation.
Whether you were a member of another Unity ministry or a different spiritual community, we invite you to begin the journey with us. Attend our services, take a class, and get to know our teachings and our CommUnity as we get to know you. This shared foundation helps every member serve from fullness and makes our CommUnity stronger.
