Audio/Video Ministry:
Members of this team express Unity of
Charlotte’s message through the excellence of public
broadcast and archive excellence. Members learn the
techniques and the rewards of up-to-date media
process by participating in this ever expanding
field of connection to greater Charlotte and beyond.
Building
and Grounds: This team is charged with
excellence. Their responsibility is that of
improving and maintaining the functionality and
appearance of our Church Home and its environment.
This can be accomplished by painting what needs to
be painted; by fixing or replacing what needs to be
fixed or replaced; by mindful awareness that our
outer world is a reflection of our collective
“inner” world.
Bookstore: The
“Bookstore Buddies”, our volunteer team members,
create an environment of enthusiasm for learning and
spiritual investigation. The Spiritual Path
Bookstore at Unity of Charlotte is an open door
to not only the Church members, but to the broader
Charlotte community.
Chaplains:
Unity Chaplains are champions of consciousness and
are trained to meet the prayer needs of our members.
They regularly serve the congregation by presenting
the Daily Word on Sundays, by holding a
Silent Meditation vigil during the Service, and by
meeting with anyone wanting Prayer support after the
Service on Sundays.
Greeters and
Ushers: The volunteers who serve on these two
teams are charged with the responsibilities of
Order, Safety and Welcoming for Unity of Charlotte.
They open not only our doors, but their hearts to
welcome church members “home” each week. They also
stand as representatives of Unity and a welcoming
embrace to all of the newcomers who seek our
Church.
The Home Run
Express: This ministry provides weekly classes
on basic spiritual principles at the Men’s Homeless
Shelter in Charlotte. An opportunity to be a
presenter at these classes gives the volunteer a
chance to share not only “what works” in life, but
to share what has become most dear and personal to
them. Participants in this down-to-earth ministry
remark upon their expanded feelings of acceptance
and compassion as they learn to serve others through
this community outreach program.
Hospitality:
The Generosity of Spirit is given physical form by
the members of our Hospitality Teams. Warm hearts
are extended through their offering of warm meals on
1st Sundays and every week at fellowship
coffee hours. They also provide luncheon fare for
those who want to participate in after Service
workshops. The synergy experienced by workers
who prepare and present food at our Church home is a
constant reminder of God’s abundant Love and of
Divine Creative Order!
Landscape:
This Team is dedicated to beautification as well as
to eco-friendly relationships for our Church through
the activity of planting, watering and nurturing new
life in and around our grounds. They work directly
with the soil and help to “ground’ our Spiritual
attainment directly to the Earth. They remind us
that that we are all charged with a responsibility
to be good stewards of our planetary home.
Latino Integration
Ministry: These volunteers meet on the last
Sunday of each month to discuss and implement plans
which allow us to expand our Church Fellowship into
the growing population of Spanish speaking citizens
in our Charlotte region. Greeting newcomers, holding
classes and extending the Love of Unity principles
are hallmarks of this dedicated group of volunteers.
Marketing/PR:
This group loves to “get the word out!!”
Letting people know who we and what we are doing
each week is a vital link between Unity of Charlotte
and Greater Charlotte. Highly organized and
efficient, this team is the pulse of our Unity
heartbeat through the written and verbal message.
“Tell everyone” is their theme!
Music Ministry:
Volunteers to this team are people who are ready
to “Let their Light Shine!!” on Sunday mornings.
Heartfelt song serves to inspire everyone, all
members, all ages, are welcome to participate on
this team. To enthuse is to fill with God…
and our music ministry is the perfect vehicle for
your desire to step beyond yourself and to express
your love through song.
Office Assistance
Ministry: This is a place for people who like to
be in the hub of all the activities. Assisting the
administrator and the Ministerial staff is an ever
changing and always interesting enterprise. You
will learn to use state-of-the-art office machines,
greet the people who come through our doors during
the weekday hours, and get to know more about the
logistics involved in “running” our church home.
Prayer Ministry:
The Prayer Ministry meets regularly on the third
Sunday of the month to experience support of member
connection as well as functioning throughout the
week in Prayer support for the entire Church. Our
connection with Silent Unity is established through
the Prayer Team as they work with our local
requests. They also contribute to a global response
for providing Universal Prayer Consciousness on
Earth.
Social Ministry:
Outings and events are coordinated by this team
of people for the delight and education of Church
members and their guests. Fellowship and time for
re-creation are important aspects of the Unity
Church life.
Unity of Charlotte
Prayer Book: Dori King has received and compiled
a number of handwritten prayers and original
artworks into a book form. This book is being
translated into Spanish and will be ready to publish
in the near future. Team members can learn more
about the publishing process and can assist in the
creation of this unique venture.
Youth and Family
Ministry: The purpose for the volunteers on this
Team is to help establish healthy connections
between the adult congregation and the youth of our
Church. It is true that all of the children of our
Church, just as all the children on our planet home,
are not only our responsibility, but our gift from
God entirely. Learning to cherish and nurture that
God-given gift is the quest and purpose of our Youth
and Family Ministry.
