Sarah, Six Months Later
Sarah sits in the same seat she chose that first Sunday, but everything else has changed. Her daughter visited last month—her first trip home in three years. She came to Sunday service, sat between Sarah and her partner, and afterward told Sarah, "I'm glad you found this place, Mom. You seem... lighter."
Sarah is lighter. The questions that once felt like burdens now feel like companions. The doubts that once brought shame now bring curiosity. The spiritual hunger that drove her through that door six months ago has been fed—not with answers, but with permission to keep seeking.
She's made friends. Real ones. Women who understand what it's like to rebuild your life and your faith in midlife. People who don't judge her questions or her journey.
Last week, she saw a woman sitting alone in the parking lot, hands gripping the steering wheel, clearly working up the courage to come inside.
Sarah walked over and tapped on the window.
"First time?" she asked, smiling.
The woman nodded.
"Perfect," Sarah said. "Come as you are!”
This Could Be Your Story
Maybe you're sitting in your car right now, reading this on your phone, wondering if this place is real?
It is!
Maybe you've been hurt by religion and you're not sure you can trust a spiritual community again.
We understand. Many of us have been there.
Maybe you're not sure what you believe anymore, and you're afraid that makes you unwelcome.
It doesn't. Your uncertainty is welcome here. Your questions are sacred here. Your journey—wherever it's taking you—is honored here.
Maybe you're looking for community but you're tired of having to pretend, to perform, to be someone you're not.
You can stop pretending here. Your authentic self is not just welcome—it's celebrated.
Maybe you're reading this and thinking, "This sounds too good to be true."
We get that. Come see for yourself. No pressure. No judgment. No strings attached.
Just a community of seekers, questioners, and believers of all kinds, trying to live with love, grow in wisdom, and support each other on the journey.
Who We Are, Simply Put
We are Unity of the White Mountains.
We are a spiritual community in Lakeside, Arizona, part of the worldwide Unity movement.
We are people who believe that love is stronger than fear, that questions are sacred, and that all paths to the divine deserve honor.
We are imperfect people creating a space where everyone can explore spirituality on their own terms.
We are a refuge for the spiritually curious, the religiously wounded, and the lifelong seekers.
We are a home for people who've been looking for exactly this kind of community—even if they didn't know it existed.
We are here, with open doors and open hearts, whenever you're ready.
Come as you are. Believe what you believe. Belong anyway.
That's who we are!
Your Invitation
This isn't a sales pitch. It's an invitation.
To explore. To question. To connect. To belong.
To find out if this community might be the spiritual home you've been seeking.
There's a seat waiting for you—not because we need to fill it, but because you might need a place to sit while you figure out what you believe, who you are, and where you're going.
We'll be here when you're ready.
With coffee, questions, and unconditional welcome.
