Dear Licensed Unity Teachers of the Eastern Region,
We affirm this message finds you centered, uplifted, and moving gracefully through the holidays and into the new year.
I’m writing to share some exciting news about the evolution of the LUT ministry within the Unity movement. As we continue to grow, adapt, and deepen our collective service, the role of LUT Consultant is transforming into something more dynamic, more collaborative, and more aligned with the emerging needs of our communities.
This shift represents an expansion in vision. We are creating space for greater partnership, shared wisdom, and a more integrated approach to supporting our LUTs throughout the region.
I warmly invite you to join us for a special gathering where we’ll unveil this new direction, share the unfolding possibilities, and hear your reflections.
Please join us on Thursday, January 15th at 6:30 PM for an evening of insight, conversation, and connection, as we explore the evolution of LUT ministry in the Unity Eastern Region. Your presence and voice are essential as we step into this next chapter together.
ps — we do have a giveaway to share with some blessed LUT

Areas of Study
Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE) Courses
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, your path at Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute (UWSI) begins with Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE) courses. SEE courses can be taken in the field at Unity centers, through intensive weeks at ministries, or online through UWSI. Courses can be taken for your own spiritual enrichment or in preparation for becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher or a Unity Minister.
Licensed Unity Teacher Studies
The purpose of the Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT) program is to provide Unity ministries with leaders who are equipped to serve and support a Unity minister and ministry. This leadership program is designed to deepen understanding of Unity principles and develop valuable assets for church communities.
The LUT program training is now part of the Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute.
The Focus Areas for becoming an LUT are: Adult Education, Administration, Pastoral Care, Music Ministry or Youth and Family Ministry.
The first phase of becoming an LUT involves completing 22 SEE courses. You can refer to details on the UWSI website for details on specific requirements. Once the 22 per-requisites are successfully completed, candidates apply for the LUT leadership program and choose a focus area. Once accepted into the LUT program, candidates complete 12 more courses in 3 week-long intensive sessions that take place on campus at Unity Village and participate in a final exam referred to as the Skills Demonstration Seminar (SDS).
Continuing Education Program
All Unity ministers and licensed teachers who wish to teach Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE) courses for credit must maintain the current Continuing Education Unit requirements. To learn more about these requirements, see the Continuing Education requirements.
