Unity's Pastoral Care ProgramUnity Church Pastoral Care Team members are specially trained and formally commissioned members of the congregation who work with our ministers to lend support to parishioners in moments of challenge, crisis, or celebration. Interactions are confidential, and no information is shared unless a congregant indicates that he or she would like others in the congregation to be involved or informed.
