Membership
Welcome to Unity Skagit Valley. We're so glad your here.
If you have a question not answered here, contact us.
What is membership?
As you pursue your spiritual path, we encourage you to explore what it means to be committed to living universal truths. Membership in Unity is not required but is encouraged as a way for an individual to commit to their own spiritual growth. Active members attend services regularly, participate in events, invest their time in service to our spiritual community, and financially contribute to Unity Skagit Valley.
Why consider membership?
• Becoming a member confirms to you and your spiritual community that you are committed to living a life of love, abundance and meaning. It affirms a sense of commitment to personal spiritual growth.
• Membership in Unity Skagit Valley says “I Belong!” Many of us arrive at Unity from other traditions, having searched for a place where we feel at home. Through membership, you declare, “This is my spiritual home, and I belong here.”
• Committing to membership is a public affirmation that says, “I walk my talk.” As you deepen your understanding and practice of the positive teachings of Unity, you become a positive example for others.
• Only members can participate in voting on important church matters. You become a part of the growing group of people who are living consciously and actively making a difference in the world.

What are the responsibilities of membership?
As part of our membership, we ask that you honor our sacred space and community and, where possible, with your time, energy, thought, prayer, service, and loving donations that make our community possible. This responsibility looks different for everyone, and we honor and respect all physical and spiritual contributions to our community as necessary for our continued growth and existence.
