Unity Church of the Hills supports a very active Course in Miracles Community. Besides our weekly study groups and once-monthly Course in Miracles Wednesday evening service, we offer one-on-one tutoring and regularly host workshops offered by Course in Miracles teachers and speakers. Whether you are a long-time student of the "Course" or are just learning about this powerful spiritual teaching, we invite you to join us in any of our activities at any time.
A Course In Miracles® was first published in 1975 by the Foundation for Inner Peace. Today, there are many autonomous centers where people gather to study its philosophy. Students use this powerful and timeless philosophy to help them bring strength and forgiveness into their lives and into the world — proof positive that these methods and concepts work.
With consistent application of its concepts and committed use of its thought system, one can begin to see that miracles are natural and can happen to anyone. You’ll discover another way to look at the world, and you will realize that judgment, fear, guilt, and anger can be released from your life. In their place, you can substitute unconditional love and experience peace, joy and love.

All groups are facilitated by 3 different long-time “Course” participants, and you may join at anytime. Each group has a slightly different focus, so we encourage you to try a few of the study groups to see which one is a good fit for you. We also have childcare available. Please register a week in advance at the Information Center or email Julie Susarrey, Childcare Director, at childcare@unityhills.org. Contact the Church Office if you have questions about either session.
Living A Course In Miracles: The Beginning 7:15-8:45 PM Mondays 16 weeks beginning August 29, 2011
"Living A Course In Miracles: The Beginning" is a new introductory level class mainly intended to meet the needs of people who would like to have an overall review and clarity in the beginning of their "Miracles" journey. The
class will provide participants a consistent approach, general guidance and straight answers with an emphasis on living and experiencing the Course from long-time Course student, Jennifer Feiereisel. This introductory class will last 16 weeks. It will cover, not only the basic concepts, but also go into the heart and soul of the Course. However, as the Course states in the beginning of its epilogue: "This course is a beginning, not an end." Living the Course is truly a new beginning of seeing the world differently, thus experiencing the world anew. No matter where you are in your "Miracle" journey, all are welcome.

Download the Recordings from the 8 Week Introductory Series
The series entitled "Introduction to A Course in Miracles - The Experience" was conducted at Unity Church of the Hills on 8 consecutive Wednesday evenings from September 2nd to October 21st, 2009. Rev. Steve and Mary Bolen, and Jennifer and Neil Feiereisel contributed to the series, assisted by many others in making these evenings a blessing to all who took part.
The intent of this series was to share A Course in Miracles in a different way, and in a way that was more experiential: from the peaceful and contemplative atmosphere of the sanctuary, to the spiritually uplifting music, to the frequent prayers and meditations. The sharings and lessons were often focused on how to apply A Course in Miracles to our daily lives.
We hope you enjoy listening to this series as much as we enjoyed sharing it!
CD sets are available in the bookstore for only $12 for whole set (which includes all 8 audio CDs, plus a data CD with all of the slides and handouts in PDF format, as well as all of the audio files in MP3 format). You can also download them here.
