From our Youth and Family Ministry Director
Jenn Hart
Welcome to Youth and Family Ministry at Unity of Stuart
We’re really glad you’re here.
At Unity of Stuart, Youth and Family Ministry is about creating a place where kids and families feel safe, seen, and supported; no pressure to believe a certain way; no expectation to have it all figured out. Just space to grow.
Our approach is grounded in Unity teachings. We focus on spiritual principles that help children and teens understand who they are, how they belong, and how to navigate life with kindness, courage, and curiosity. We teach that each person has an inner light; that their thoughts matter; and that love is a practice, not a rulebook.
For kids, that looks like age-appropriate lessons, stories, creativity, movement, and conversation. For teens, it means honest dialogue, real questions, and room to explore what spirituality means in everyday life. For families, it means partnership. We know you are your child’s first and most important teacher; we’re here to walk alongside you.
You don’t have to be new to Unity; you don’t have to know the language; and you definitely don’t have to be perfect. Bring your whole family as you are. Questions are welcome. Doubt is allowed. Laughter happens often.
Our hope is simple. We want young people to leave here knowing they are loved, capable, and connected; to themselves, to others, and to Spirit.
We’re glad you found us.
Welcome to the journey.
In loving service,
Jenn

Our co-founder Myrtle Fillmore heard Spirit asking this question, "Who will take care of the children?" Of course, her answer was "I will!"
