From 1937 through 1963 the church’s official name was: The Unity Church of Truth of Honolulu, Hawai’i.Īnticipating continued growth, the congregation followed Reverend Handly’s recommendation that they find a larger and more permanent location for their Chruch home, by moving their services to 240 Lewers Road in Waikiki in 1939. The Unity Chruch of Hawai’i officially became a reality. They had gathered $400 to start the Church treasury. Reports indicate that 20 people were in attendance. Reverend Marie’s first Church Service was held on Sunday morning, October 10, 1937, in the old Boston Building that was located on Fort Street. The prayerful work of the faithful was answered in 1937 when Miss Marie Parker Handly heard the Call to Service, left her position at Unity School in Missouri, and made the pilgrimage to Honolulu to organize the Unity Chruch of Hawai’i. This small group had a vision of having their own Unity branch church with their own ordained Unity minister. They began to communicate with the leadership of the Headquarters of the Association of Unity Churches, located near Kansas City, Missouri at the Unity Village. They began to study together with the teachings of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore and to incorporate their understanding of themselves as the “Image and Likeness of God” in their daily lives. A small group of earnest seekers of truth in Hawai’i found each other in 1930.
