Minister's Message

"In the beginning God created…."

We are all instruments of God's creative power of love, joy and abundance. I have experienced all that God is active in my life as I was led into this relationship with the wonderful people of Unity Community Church of Brea. I am grateful and blessed to have the opportunity to serve this ministry and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you in the coming days and months ahead.

As I begin my journey as your Spiritual Leader, I see us recognizing the creative energy of this ministry by honoring where you have been, celebrating where we are, and rejoicing in what we will become. I welcome my role as your Minister to support, encourage, participate and experience this ministry becoming the unlimited potential it is.

Myrtle Filmore, co-founder of Unity, wrote this poem, "My Faith" in 1897:

I see "Mama" Myrtle's poem as a covenant to Unity Community Church of Brea. When we hold a sacred commitment to the words underlined in her poem, we are living into the creative flow of the universe, as instruments of God's living, loving energy source. Myrtle recognized the Truth of what she wrote, and she lived her life as an example of that Truth. This Truth is our blue print for spiritual enfoldment.

Let us journey together, allowing the natural creative flow of God's Love to work through this your ministry and within the heart of each and every one of you. I celebrate with you in continuing your expression as a thriving, spirit-filled ministry, loving hearts, honoring diversity, transforming lives as a center for positive living. I joyfully join you on this path of enfoldment!

In Peace, Love and Joy,

Rev. Meghan
