Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unity in the City?

The vision of this spiritual community arose over the last several years. Sensing a need for a new kind of church in the Boston area, a core group began to lay the groundwork for a start-up Unity congregation. Unity Center of Cambridge first launched services in May 2005 and moved in April 2010 to Brighton under the new name of Unity in the City. Today we are a church that:

We are committed to bringing a fresh, engaging approach to spirituality to people of all ages in the Boston area. We've found we connect especially well with people who identify as "more spiritual than religious" and perhaps haven't been part of a church community in the past. Like many college towns, Boston attracts a lot of people with progressive values and holistic belief systems – people who are interested in meditation and attend yoga classes, but don't have "a place to go on Sunday morning."

Unity in the City is committed to changing that. Through skilled and inclusive ministry that meets the needs of individuals and families in all life stages, UITC is building an innovative new spiritual home - especially for people who haven't found one yet.

Where does Unity in the City meet?

We are leasing new space for our growing needs in Brighton at: 320 Washington St, 3rd floor, Brighton, MA 02135. More information is available on our Worship Services page.
