Wherever I am, God is... and all is well.

During the pandemic, the Unity of Greenville Youth Program suspended classes
at our spiritual center in order to encourage social distancing. We recognize the importance of continued spiritual guidance, and even increased self-care during a time of uncertainty and interrupted routines, and you may find the resources below useful at any time.

Our children, especially, may be feeling overwhelmed by the changing energy around us, and Unity would like to be a
calming presence for you and your families.
