Become a Leader

Become a Unity Credentialed Leader

Ram Dass says: "We're all just walking each other home." It's a beautiful idea that speaks to a human impulse to reach out and assist one another.

Unity leadership is about responding to this impulse and choosing to walk alongside others on their spiritual journey—guiding and serving them on this path and having the incredible privilege to observe and participate in their spiritual transformation. It is about answering the call of Spirit to serve humanity through sharing the Unity message.
 
Unity Worldwide Ministries credentials individuals to take this walk in four ways: 
  • By becoming a Unity Minister
  • By becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher
  • By becoming a Certified Spiritual Educator
  • By becoming a Certified UWM Consultant
Becoming a Unity Minister
In choosing to become an ordained Unity minister, one takes a deep dive into spiritual leadership, and accepts the mantle of Unity leadership. Service as an ordained Unity minister can occur by serving in a traditional setting or by creatively finding other ways to share the Unity message. Find out more about our ordination paths.
 
 
Becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher
Licensed Unity teachers are individuals who serve under the sponsorship of a Unity minister providing leadership to serve their spiritual community. Our licensed teachers can specialize in any of the following areas: Administration, Adult Education, Pastoral Care, Music Ministry, or Youth & Family Ministry.
