Cheryl Upchurch | Administrative Assistant

I was a member of Unity Church in Warren, Michigan before moving to Florida in the mid-1990s. I re-entered the spiritual world of Unity in early 2017 when I began attending Unity of Daytona Beach after a long hiatus. I felt as though I had come back home and soon became a member. I am a lifelong student of Unity and hunger for knowledge and experience that enhance my spiritual growth.

Carole George | Prayer Chaplain Coordinator

I found my way “home” to Unity of Indianapolis in 1992 and have remained a devoted member everywhere life has taken me since. Serving has always been an important part of my spiritual path, and over the years I’ve been blessed to contribute as a volunteer in many capacities, board member, Financial Secretary, and now as Prayer Chaplain Coordinator.

My move from Jacksonville to the Daytona area was guided by spirit—and by my love for Unity of Daytona Beach, which I first discovered while vacationing here. In 2022, I became a Prayer Associate with Silent Unity Prayer Ministry and was recently honored to step into the role of Supervisor.

I hold three degrees from Indiana University and bring many years of leadership experience from the financial sector. Unity’s teachings and the Five Principles have deeply transformed my life, and it is a heartfelt privilege to serve in this ministry.
