Welcome to Unity Spiritual Center Westlake
Senior Minister Rev. Dr. Richard Loren Held
Music Director Matthew Wilson
Unity is a positive, practical, and progressive approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. Unity honors the universal truths in all religions and respects each individual's right to choose a spiritual path.
Our Sunday Service is at 11 a.m. Join us in person or via livestream. At Unity Spiritual Center, we believe spiritual community should be accessible to everyone. Our building is fully accessible for guests who use wheelchairs, walkers, or other mobility aids, with convenient access designed to help you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive.
If you are joining us in person, please allow our robust welcome teams to welcome you and yours through the Unity Hall entrance. The administrative wing doors will remain secured throughout the morning as part of our unwavering commitment to the safety of our youngest attendees and their amazing teachers.
Can’t attend in person? Our Sunday services are livestreamed so you can participate from wherever you are. We also offer support for guests who speak languages other than English through live translation tools, as well as options for those who are hearing-impaired, including live transcription and captioning.
Not especially tech-savvy? You are still warmly welcome. We provide simple, step-by-step instructions for joining our livestream and using accessibility tools, and our team is happy to help you get connected. Whether you join us in person or online, we want your experience to be easy, meaningful, and fully accessible.
You'll find us livestream on YouTube and Facebook. Learn more about livestream, accessibility, and our archives on our livestream page. Learn More
