LEAD | Governance Resources
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Code of Ethics | for Ministries & for Leaders
November 2025:
​
The Code of Ethics for Ministries and the Code of Ethics for Unity Leaders are documents that set the ethical standards for the Unity movement – standards that Unity holds people and ministries accountable to.
​
Ministry boards and leaders are encouraged to review, discuss, and sign these documents. These will be the documents used by Unity to determine good standing.
