Location and Directions
Unity Center is in beautiful western North Carolina, surrounded by the Blue Ridge and Great Smokies Mountains. We are between the cities of Asheville and Hendersonville, and not far from Brevard.

We invite you to visit us soon! Sunday Celebration services are at 9:30 and 11:00 and we offer a wide variety of weekly classes, guest workshops, concerts, and films.  Please see our Schedule for details.

We are located at 2041 Old Fanning Bridge Road (about 3 miles west of the Asheville Regional Airport), in the town of Mills River, NC.

Our beautiful building opened in Sept. 2000.  The Chapel is in half of an octagon that is 40 feet high in the center, with clerestory windows. The back wall of the stage features a commissioned artwork: a stained glass mosaic that depicts points of energy and light coming together in Spirit and love, at a wellspring set in the four seasons in the mountains. A computer projector is used during services to project images or words to songs on a motorized screen. The other half of the octagon is a large patio that looks out over the hills and our neighbor's small lake.

Our 21-acre tract of rolling pastureland also has a 50-foot diameter labyrinth, an outdoor amphitheatre and stage, our "Secret Garden" deck, a lovely (cold!) stream, and a cosmic outhouse.

Unity News & Views is published quarterly, at the beginning of March, June, September, and December. This 24-page, tabloid-style newspaper (printed on newsprint) is distributed free of charge, and mailed to subscribers. Annual subscriptions are offered for any donation to the Newsletter! Excerpts are available at this web site. Editor: Lytingale
We welcome the submission of articles, poetry, letters, reprints, etc. for and about our church family and spiritual growth. You may submit material handwritten, typed, on computer floppy or CD (for PC: .doc (Word), .txt, PageMaker formats; I can NOT use WordPerfect or Mac formats) or preferably by e-mail (please paste the text into the BODY of the email message).  Please indicate whether or not you give permission for this material to also appear on our Web site.
Ads in the Unity News & Views
We reach a unique audience, both by mail and from drop-off locations throughout Western North Carolina (Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, Black Mountain, etc). Our subscribers are located in many other states as well.

We limit the size of ads to create a "spiritual journal" look. Ads are usually placed along the bottom of each page, 3 horizontal or 4-5 vertical ads per page. Advertising is offered for the purpose of sharing information with each other, supporting like-minded businesses, and contributing to the cost of production.

Free layout is available.  Provide a .jpg or .gif of any graphics/logo, or I can scan graphics/logos (black & white works best). Photos in ads work best when submitted as a PMT halftone at 85 line screen in the correct size - I do my best, but am not responsible for the results of scanned photos. Printing is onto newsprint at 150dpi.  I work in Windows PageMaker, and can NOT use MAC formats! 

Ads (camera-ready or copy for layout) may be submitted by mail, phone, or preferably by e-mail to Lyte(at)unitync.net.

We appreciate your advertising and we trust it reaches a receptive audience attuned to your product or service. Unity News & Views reaches 1,800 families by direct mail or various drop-off points throughout Western North Carolina.
