The Unity Church of Peace, a small church on the east side of Tucson, was recognized May 2 by the board of directors of Unity Worldwide Ministries, in Kansas City, Missouri, as a full status ministry and member. The church was founded in 2005.

“A group of friends began with a desire to spend time together studying Unity principles and to develop a spiritual fellowship,” says Nita Strauss, a licensed Unity minister and founding member. There currently are 79 adult members of the church.

“This wonderful evolution has now led us to share Unity teachings with many others in our community,” said Strauss. Although the Unity Church of Peace is a Christian-based ministry, people from all faiths or beliefs and any sexual orientation are welcome.

One-hour Sunday services begin at 10:30 a.m., and Sunday School is available for children during the services. Prayer services and classes are also held earlier on Sunday and during the week.

Location: 1551 S. Eastside Loop, Ste. 121. For more information, call 520-760-6673 or 520-241-4347, email [email protected] or visit UnityChurchOfPeaceAZ.com.
