Unity on the Bay is a special place for spiritual enrichment. I have been a part of the Unity on the Bay community for almost 10 years now. And in that time, I have seen various spiritual leaders speak, including Byron Katie, Deepak Chopra, Panache Desai, and more! I have also attended Silent Retreats, Sound Bowl Healing, and numerous workshops, such as the Absolute Abundance series, and I am currently enrolled in Unity YOUniversity, which is a wonderful opportunity to go deeper into my faith and expand my understanding of our spiritual principles, prayer, and meditation. My favorite part of Unity on the Bay is the people - from our senior minister, Rev. Juan Del Hierro, to the entire staff, choir, all of our sacred server volunteers, and of course, our congregation. I was introduced to Unity by a dear friend of mine, and along the way, I also created so many more long-lasting friendships. I am grateful to Unity on the Bay, and we welcome anyone, from any religious background, to join us on Sundays or at any of our upcoming events and workshops.

"Non Denomination" all paths lead to God? Only Jesus Christ leads to God! Pure false teachings about mystic and "spirituality that has nothing to do with God. The word of God is not taught. This is not a "church" Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life! He is the king of King of kings Lords! He is the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end! He is the one who died for our sins and this "church" does not teach that. He calls himself reverand. God will hold this "reverand" accountable! I can almost guarantee that he was raised either catholic or Christian and he strayed from the truth and instead of pleasing God he is pleasing men where the itching ears are hearing. Sin is not taught! There is no change! Stay away from this place it's demonic at the least! Test all the spirits never again I went and dashed the holy spirit lifted me up so fast thank God I have discernment. I will pray that God through the Holy Spirit opens blind eyes open deaf ears and remove the veil from the eyes!

The Unity movement itself is jabsolutely wonderful. A God that is life itself and therefore love itself.. beautiful almost every sermon here has hit a truth in my heart that is extremely rare in the world of religion and philosophy. But I've tried attending this congregation on and off, going for a month straight and then leaving it for months and it would have been really nice to be more regular but their people skills are just zero. You email them, they don't reply. You donate and it's like... meh... I came late and got turned away at the door by a flustered woman with no tact. You hang out after and it's great to chat with some of them for 20min but they don't do anything together. I love independent-minded ppl and that's exactly the type to have been bold enough to adopt a new thinking and start Unity, but at this church they are so independent they dk how to make people feel welcome.

  • Jennifer Levenson

I knew I was in the right place at Unity on the Bay, when I very quickly discovered that ALL-inclusivity is one of the primary cornerstones. All people are welcome here, no matter who you are, where you’re from, or when you arrived in Miami or the planet, or even what your philosophy, religion, or traditions are, everyone is welcomed & accepted just as they are, as the One created you to be. There is only one presence & one power here, God the good & as such, we are one heart, one mind, & one body in Spirit. This is a true microcosm of the world. Just about any one of God’s beloved children are represented at Unity on the Bay. We think globally & act locally.Yes, you will hear God’s word here & you will also find many of God’s busy servers doing His sacred work. Welcome home!

  • Udaya Thomas

Unity is the most modern hybrid version of Buddhism and Christianity. Being raised as a preacher's kid, I looked for many years for a spiritual home that wrapped in meditation, prayer and a focus on the amazing teachings of Jesus- peace, love, unity, forgiveness and justice. The Unity principles are like those of Buddhist tenets and it definitely works for me, uplifts me and recharges me for the week ahead. If you are interested in such a spiritual home, led by a down to earth yet inspiring spiritual leader like Rev Juan, join US in person or online or like me BOTH since I live in Broward!! Get ready to laugh, love, sing, dance, and go deep to renew your soul! Warm waves, A. Udaya Thomas, PhD, MSN, MPH, APRN aka "Dr. Sunday" @usolicare

  • Charles Wilkerson

I am in Love with Unith on the Bay It has been and continues to be a place that inspires (IN SPIRIT), motivates and encourages me to seek to be a more loving, understanding, patient and caring person. And we have been blessed with many speakers over the years to encourage our Spiritual Enlightment. Through Unity on the Bay I have heard Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Donn Miguel Ruiz and more. I have also been fortunate to find, participate in as well as facillitate A Course In Miracles study group. A Course In Miracles is a self study course that directs the student to the Inner Guide that has always been there. To experience Unity on the Bay is to love Unity on the Bay.

  • Ileana Aguilera

Unity on the Bay has been my spiritual community for over 15 years. It continues to be a haven for peace, unconditional love and kindness I’ve ever experienced. Unity is compromised of a diverse community of people who come together to share and experience true freedom through love. This shows in their actions within the larger community of Miami Dade, actively participating in charitable donations, backback drives, food distribution and through having a truly open door policy. ALL, no matter who or what are ALWAYS welcome and welcomed. I have been the witness and the recipient of this energy and I am a PROUD member of Unity on the Bay.

  • Lorena Mena (lory)

Amazing!! I love this place I came here to visit about 5yrs ago and everyone was so warm open and inviting. I was able to attend and was very relaxed, was not judged of my attire, sexual orientation nor religious background I immediately fell in love and Felt at home. Now I'm a member and also joined the amazing choir! Unity uses A metaphysical approach to Christ. And believes that there is only good at all times so every individual is the expression of the Christ which allows all walks of faith to join in on a Unity service and not feel a separation of one but a part of the whole.

  • Robin Waugh-Castle

I fell in love with the Spirit, Culture & Vibe of UOTB since I first visited (accidentally) for a concert almost 2 decades ago. It’s been my Spiritual Home ever since. It was a great open inclusive environment to raise my young children. (See a favorite photo of my kids back in the day with UOTB’s very own Sweetest ever Santa) ❤️ Even though my family & I moved away from Miami in 2009 - I have continued stay connected thru live-streamed FB services & other online events & classes. I even drop in occasionally if I happen to be passing through South Florida.

  • Loreyne Alicea

Inclusivity, spirituality & faith all in one place! I came to Unity through my sister. This was her haven and while she was not a religious person, this was the place she turned to. My sister is no longer with us and Unity recently helped our family celebrate her life. It was an uplifting experience and we know our sister was present. While I'm not able to physically make the service in person, I do participate online. It is a great way for me to reset for the upcoming week. I encourage all to experience the feeling as well.

  • Rogelio Vazquez Diaz

Even though I can not attend their celebration in person, their weekly broadcast of the Sunday service helps me feel connected and spiritually nurtured. The meditations by Rev. Juan del Hierro are like an oasis of positive energy and love that quenches my thirst and replenishes my soul, inspiring the divinity in my humanity as I live my day to day life knowing that all is well. Their prayer network is always available. Unity on the bay is a beacon of hope that continues to shine even in the darkest moments.

  • Amy Ellis

Unity on the Bay is an incredibly special place. The message from Rev. Juan del Hierro is always uplifting, and the music is always beautiful and inspiring with talented guest artists joining the house band and Unity choir each week. But most importantly, Unity on the Bay is a kind, loving and welcoming spiritual community. It has quite literally transformed my world and my life. It is my spiritual sustenance. I can't imagine living without it. Give it a try. Get involved. It will change your life.

  • belinda yanda

I Love Unity on the Bay because it's a supportive progressive spiritual community with practical wisdom teachings that have assisted me on my spiritual journey! Every Sunday they have an amazing service with inspiring music and a spirit led talk which inspires you to more deeply connect with your own spiritual nature (divinity)- I am grateful to be a part of the community and for all the classes/teachings & support I've received over the years! I am honored to be part of Unity on the Bay.

  • Tatiana Pouladian

What an incredible place - I attended Joe Dispenza's lectures in July of 2014. The lecture hall was truly welcoming, clean, and full of loving energies. The location of this church is breath taking, right by the water in the heart of Miami. My very favorite part was their store! Shopping, shopping, shopping !!!!! All the spiritual books, accessories, CDs and all at great prices. Thank you Unity On the Bay for your hospitality. Best Staff EVER! Thank YOU, Tatiana Pouladian

  • Roberto Hermosilla

My spiritual home- the place that changed my life and made me a better version of me. What can I say about this place ??? I LOVE UOTB! I love the people , the message , the feeling , the experience. Made me understand the true meaning of - “I am God’s beloved child. Innocent, pure and whole and this day - I choose to say yes. I dedicate my life to serve spirit and I thank every day for it. “ Come and discover it for yourself. Thank you .

  • Maria Colmenares

I was very happy attending Unity on the Bay. I always felt welcomed and love to attend Sunday's service at 11:00 am. The messages were always uplifting. I always took something with me. When I started to attend, I was living very close. It took me around 10 minutes to get there. Now, I am living in Hollywood and Unity is farther away from me. I wish Minister Juan del Hierro and all his loving and caring team the very best. Thank you!

  • Marla Warrington

Unity on the Bay is a sacred place in our community and in my heart. This community is filled with teachings of faith, love, compassion and kindness. Also accountability in our thoughts and actions in our own lives and towards others. Gentle language that wraps its words around me like a loving embrace! I truly am blessed to be a member of this spiritual community.

  • Davia Cameron - South FLA Realtor

The day that I visited, I learned that this beautiful church will be transitioning. I can’t imagine how the attendees may feel but remember that change is constant. The only thing that matters is your reaction to change, there in lies your power✨ Very grateful to have experienced the last few pages of the churches chapter but I’m excited for UNITYs new beginning. ☮️

  • Wendy Unger

I attend Spiritual Services at Unity on the Bay regularly. I have been a member of the family of this fantastic organization in excess of 20 years under the leadership of 3 outstanding individuals. There is nothing better than the fellowship education and friendship that is offered to our community! I can’t think of a better place to be !! I love Unity on the Bay!!!

  • Che Padron

This was a really fun place. Very warm and welcoming people. They believe in Christ but it's more metaphysical and less socially conservative. Basically anyone who is searching for truth is welcome to attend, regardless of religious background, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or identity. It was a nice place, very friendly people, and it had a spiritual feel.

  • Nancy Harrington

When I walk through the doors of Unity on the Bay, I am welcomed by a kind, generous, friendly, loving community. The message is unfailingly positive, supportive and affirming, and grounded in the spiritual principles which are the essence and foundation of the world’s great religions. We are very fortunate to support and to have the support of Unity on the Bay.

  • Against All Odds

This is a good place to go, but in my personal experience, I had to give it time to process it.. I think what matters is what i do with it... Like any other place right? I had moments I got spooked,it can get weird. Roseane Graves I'm completely sorry your glasses got stolen. That was Lame. Have a good night everyone✨

We are spiritual individuals born with an organic physical bodies, mental , intelligent and emotional, with the privilege to choose our own decisions able to contribute with love , compassion and respect all kingdoms on planet Earth through our short life span here. Love is the answer to stop fear.

  • Mitch Swergold

Great programs, nice folks. The seats are pretty uncomfortable, but fortunately, they're moving soon. Really like the organization and integrity of the people who run the show. Big thumbs up. The one star is less than 5 is for the seats, which hopefully, will be a lot better in the new place.

  • mercedes cano

Easter Day 04/17/2022 my first visit to Unity my 45 minutes pass so fast, surrounding by a great diversely community, and I felt so welcomed, the atmosphere is great, the music so nice, the meditation came just on time to fulfill my soul… definitely I will be back soon Thank you so much.

  • Amy Ward

Great welcoming service! Not sure what it all means but I am enjoying the experience. The music and choir are amazing. I just always feel happier and joyful when I leave. It is different so you have to be open to that if you are used to a Catholic or episcopal service. It is "hippyish"

  • Heradio Luces

Unity is not about religion but spirituality. No intimidation, and fully diverse environment. Great space for your deepest connection with your inner self. Offers mot only sunday mass but training, workshops, speakers series, meditation and more. Get the best of different cultures.

  • Diana Smalls

Only in service five minutes I walk out. New age teaching church has pictures of all sort of worldly ladies all over sanctuary walls! No holy spirit in here!!!! Visiting from out of state church close to beach only reason I went. I had another church in mind but too far from beach.

  • Marissa Lopez

I love this spiritual church! Inspiring messages from our Reverends, great congregation, awesome gospel-like singers, many educational and inspiring clases, workshops and special talks from motivational leaders. Anyone one can participate, no matter what religion you follow.
