The AV Team provides audio and visual technical support for the many activities of our church home. This includes providing management of sound systems (live and recorded), PowerPoint, and video support for weekly services, holidays, special events, concerts, weddings and memorials.

This team provides an opportunity for individuals with technical aspirations and abilities to give service in a team atmosphere while receiving training in technical areas as needed.

The Building and Grounds Team creates and maintains the sacred space where our community can practice Unity principles in a safe, peaceful, and beautiful environment.

The first Saturday morning of each month, volunteers gather for Agape to help maintain our buildings and 10 acres of sacred property. The property includes the Chapel House, the Sanctuary, the meditation gazebo, the bell tower, the strolling the path around Peace Lake, and various areas to sit, meditate, and observe the wildlife.

The Prayer Chaplain Program empowers all to pray with one another, recognizing God’s presence and power in every moment. Our Prayer Chaplains support you in prayer, knowing what a great blessing it is to pray with another. All prayer requests are held in the strictest confidence. Being a Prayer Chaplain is a way to express one’s divine potential while achieving deeper spiritual fulfillment.

If you think you would like to serve as a Prayer Chaplain, we invite you to pray about your calling. Stepping up to this sacred service also is stepping up to your next level of spiritual growth. People who volunteer to be a Prayer Chaplain agree to take on certain responsibilities, including a one-year commitment to serve, maintaining a personal prayer life, and making wellness and visitation calls to members of our congregation when available.

Everyone at Unity of Fort Myers is ready to welcome members and visitors alike. This is our spiritual home and family and everyone is welcome.

As a member of the Welcome Team we are in the lobby each Sunday to be the first to greet everyone with a warm, loving, embracing experience.  As a member you choose the Sundays that work for you! It only requires about 2 hours per Sunday during the service – and you are already here! Our chores are easy – we provide information about our church and events and assists with various aspects of the Sunday service. A GREAT way to meet new friends!

We are called ushers or greeters in other churches.

The Youth Ministry supports the mission of UFM through inspiring our youth to develop their personal relationship with God. Unity principles are learned by drawing out the Spiritual truths from the Christ within. This experienced group of leaders inspire our community’s youth to develop their personal relationships with themselves, each other, and with God.

Using games, art, performance, prayer, meditation, occasional on- and off-site events, and more, we help our young people discover their own talents, learn respect, express compassion, and offer selfless service to each other and their own community. For further information, click here
