Weddings

We can help make one of the most important days of your life even more meaningful. Unity is a Christian church where people of all faiths may be married. We have a lovely sanctuary that seats 300 people, a small and intimate Peace Chapel for a wedding with less than 25 guests, and an outdoor gazebo for a wedding under sunshine or starlight. Or you may choose to have your wedding in an outdoor garden, at your favorite hotel, at home, in a peaceful waterfront park, or at one of our breathtakingly beautiful beaches. We will do our best to customize your wedding to reflect your taste and spiritual values.

Learn more about our wedding options on this page. 

Holy Unions

Unity Church of Jacksonville offers a sacred commitment service, called a Holy Union, to honor the love and dedication between couples of the same sex. The facility options listed for weddings are available for your special day. We offer ceremony options so that your holy union will reflect your ideals and your love. Our minister will also facilitate at a location of your choice.

Renewal Services

Unity Church of Jacksonville offers special services for couples desiring to renew their vows. As in all commitment and wedding services, the focus is on you. We do our best to create with you a sacred day which reflects your love and values.

Christenings

Christening is an ancient ritual that predates even the earliest Christian traditions. The rite and the interpretation of its meaning have undergone many changes over time, and today christening is practiced in many different ways. The purpose of Christening is to recognize the spiritual identity and purpose of a soul. In Unity, we look to the example of Jesus as our guide.

In Mark 10: 13-16 we read that Jesus took children in his arms and blessed them.

Christening in Unity is the act of welcoming a child into our world and recognizing this soul by name in its human journey. It is a time for parents to dedicate themselves to raising their child in an awareness of God’s loving presence.

Godparents ~ You may choose as many people as you wish, or have no Godparents. There is no legal obligation or responsibility made through a Christening service.

Spiritual Baptisms ~ For children and adults, we also provide a baptism service.

Memorial Services

At the time of the passing of a loved one, many people want a service and don’t know where to turn. We are here to support people in times of grief and loss. We can provide services at the location of your choice. Our services are positive, uplifting celebrations of the life lived. We honor each person’s spiritual traditions.

Home Blessings

A private home blessing ceremony acknowledges and honors your home as sacred space, a sanctuary of love, peace and joy. Many people request a home blessing as they settle into a new home or apartment, but a home blessing ceremony is appropriate at any time, whether you have just moved in or have lived in your home for many years.
