We Recognize That Each Person Is On Their Own Unique Spiritual Journey
At Unity Church of Overland Park we honor that journey and are here to support you in knowing and expressing your Christ Nature. Please let us know how we can support you.
Prayer Request Form
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer believe that you receive it, and you will.” – Mark 11:24
Our prayer team will receive your first name only and will hold you in prayer for two weeks. Your prayer request will then be forwarded to Silent Unity, where it will be held in prayer for an additional 30 days.
Baptisms/Christenings
Unity believes that spiritual baptism/christening signifies the inflowing of the Holy Spirit within an individual. The ceremony is designed to honor the Christ Nature within the individual and bless them as beloved children of God. We offer christenings during our services 2 to 3 times a year and we offer private christenings any time at the location of your choice. | For more information and minister availability, contact Rev. Jacquie Fernandez, Senior Minister, at (913) 649-1750 ext.102.

You will receive monthly letters of prayer support for a period of thirteen months following your loss. | For more information, contact Rev.
