Our Unity Center began in Alamo in the 1940's as a Unity Study Group.
In the 1960's, due to expanding numbers, a two-bedroom Walnut Creek home was purchased. In 1972, ground breaking began for the building of our present site here on Geary Road, in Walnut Creek.

As time has passed,
our numbers continued to grow, and we once again outgrewn our space. So in 2009, we embarked on a large fundraising
and remodeling project in order to accomodate larger numbers and make our Unity home more inviting to more people. Read more about this amazing journey of Love In Action, as we embarked on the transformation and expansion of our buildings and ourselves. |
