Unity Peace Makers

The Unity PeaceMakers (UPM) formed at Unity Church of Christianity to build on the energy and inspiration of the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) and to work to bring into reality in the greater Houston area the vision of an awakened world. In support of the church's mission of teaching, loving, and inspiring people to be all that they are created to be, the group's goal is to create and support a loving, empowered, and peaceful community and world where all are conscious of their unity with each other, the earth, and God.
