A Message from Reverend Stephen Towles
Hello. I am excited to be the new minister at Unity Spiritual Center of North Idaho. I accepted the position of minister and started my new ministry on October 1, 2018. For those who do not know me, I am an ordained Unity Minister. My mission here is to see the good in everyone and everything and call it forth into expression. I affirm that, Unity is a way of thinking that brings spirituality into our everyday life experience. I see religion as being about someone else’s existential experience. In contrast, Spirituality is about your own existential experience of the divine presence. By embracing and understanding our own divine nature, we become free to be who we have come here to be. Our life becomes more fulfilling, our hearts more peaceful, and our accomplishments more profound. Every Sunday, we gather to celebrate and to heal in our Sunday Celebration services. We are creating a spiritual community of those who seek to bring the divine presence within them consciously into their daily life. Through our classes we empower people to a meaningful, productive and prosperous life. I invite you to come and be part of our spiritual community. We accept all races, creeds, and life styles openly into our community without exception.
​
You can reach me at minister@unitycenter.org, or you can call the center at 208-664-1125 to speak to me personally.

​Namaste.

Prayer

Through meditation, we experience the presence of God.
Affirmative prayer is the highest form of creative thought. It includes the release of counterproductive, negative thinking, as well as holding in mind statements of spiritual truth. Through meditation, we experience the presence of God. Prayer and meditation heighten our awareness and thereby transform our lives. 

Silent Unity Healing Service

Every day, as part of Silent Unity, a healing service convenes in the Prayer Vigil Chapel at Unity Village. We conduct a similar service at noon each Wednesday here at USCNI. You are invited to participate with Reverend Steve Towles as we bless our community and pray over any submitted prayer requests. Please accept this opportunity to raise your spiritual consciousness. ​

Adult Education

Unity provides an intentional process of classes for emotional and spiritual development.
Unity provides an intentional process of classes for emotional and spiritual development.  People long for a place where they can move beyond the surface, where they can safely share their hopes and fears, where they can be challenged to explore new aspects of themselves and the world.  We offer that sacred space through classes, experiential exercises and small group support.
 

  

Youth Education

Unity fosters positive self-image, personal responsibility, and unconditional love.
Our Youth and Family Ministry strives to provide a spiritually nourishing environment where our youth can explore and celebrate their individual relationship with God. Providing consistent spiritual support helps them establish a strong moral framework including a healthy self-confidence, high esteem and compassion for self and others. Unity also recognizes that there are many expressions of family life. All are welcome here. Unity creates an affirming environment that fosters positive self-image, personal responsibility, and unconditional love. We offer three distinct education programs.

UniTots     (kindergarten-5th grade)
UniTeens   (6th grade-8th grade)
Y.O.U.       (9th grade-12th grade)

Unity:
  • beholds all children as whole, perfect expressions of God
  • empowers children to fulfill their divine potential
  • teaches children to meditate and pray
  • invites children to experience a loving God
  • provides a strong spiritual foundation for children’s lives
 

  

Music

We celebrate the divine through our music. ​
The Message, the Meditation and the Music are the primary components of the Celebration Service that people remember and carry with them for inspiration, comfort and joy. Music enhances the service by echoing the teachings in the Ministers message. It speaks to the soul in ways that nothing else can. It truly is a universal language. 

We celebrate the divine through our music ministry and are so grateful for the talent pool of musicians who serve here. Join the dynamic music team and share your artistic gifts as a soloist or instrumentalist. ​
 

  

Board of Trustees

We are committed to the continuous and healthy growth and of our community.
The Board of Trustees establishes the governing policy and operational framework for our community. 
Unity Spiritual Center of North Idaho is honored to be one of 13 churches selected to participate in the Unity World Wide Ministries' Transformation Experience. Our focus, for the past few years, has been to apply the principles of TE to our community. This evolutionary and ongoing process centers on four key areas of development.

Community
  • Cultivating a community centered culture that is team directed rather than minister driven.  
  • Moving from hierarchical practices to intentional vision fulfillment in all ways of being including our values, identity, traditions, history and sense of purpose.
Leadership  
  • Evolving our individual capacity to model and demonstrate the enlightened behavior needed to meet opportunities and challenges in a conscious and loving way. 
Stewardship
  • Creating a shift in individual awareness from simply belonging to ownership and partnership. 
  • Identifying and celebrating our individual gifts and "Who we have come here to be." 
Intention
  • Integrating and aligning all levels of our organizational structure to our strategic plans and intentions.
  • Developing a sense of congruence in our thoughts, words and actions.
