A unity church is a school of thought founded upon holistic Christian principles. It is informed by a wide range of spiritual, metaphysical and philosophical ideas, and has as its principal essence that God is the only power, and is all that is both seen and unseen.It is the largest of a group of denominations that have been known for over a century as New Thought.

New Thought is a loosely allied group of organizations, authors, philosophers, and individuals who share a set of metaphysical beliefs concerning healing, life force, Creative Visualization, and personal power.
It promotes the ideas that God is all powerful and ubiquitous, spirit is the totality of real things, true human self-hood is divine, divine thought is a force for good, all sickness originates in the mind, and 'right thinking' has a healing effect.

I checked out the following asteroids:
1015 Christa - Christ
306 Unitas - Unity
10343 Church - church
11823 Christen - Christian
3155 Lee - Senior Pastor's last name
9135 Lacaille - Junior Pastor's last name is Lacalle

Solar Return

Moon in Gemini in 12th,stationary Neptune in Aquarius in 9th,Lee in Libra in 5th Grand Trine
Lee is the last name of the senior pastor at the church that I am going to attend!
Unitas is closely semisextile Lee in solar return
Lee is pastor of Christ Unity Church
Unitas is only 2 minutes quincunx moon in solar return
The junior pastor's lastname is Lacalle
Lacaille is conjunct the IC and closely semisextile Christen
Lacaille opposes Church-Midheaven conjunction
Neptune is conjunct Christa in the solar return too

Natal Chart

I have Jupiter in 8'17 Sagittarius in 3rd which fits with religious education, church
I have Lee in 8'17 Libra exactly sextile Jupiter
My Lacaille is in 8'41 Gemini oppose Jupiter and trine Lee
Lee and Lacalle are the pastors of the church that I am going to attend
What a synchronicity to have Lee,Lacaille,Jupiter in close aspects in my natal chart
I have a conjunction of Christa and Unitas.......Christ Unity!
Neptune,Christa,Unitas conjunction in Sagittarius in 3rd square the opposition of Moon in Pisces in 6th and Christen in Virgo in 12th
Saturn in 9th is in challenging aspects to that configuration.
My natal chart shows my spiritual,religious conflict including my being at odds with Christianity,and I have problems with mainstream Christianity.
It looks like I was meant to attend Christ Unity Church

I have Neptune-Christa conjunction aspected by Moon just like in the solar return.

It's synchronicity of the asteroids that strengthen my belief in Astrology. They seem good for finetuning and confirming things. I like looking at asteroids in lunar returns too.

They have a pretty cool book store. There all kinds of spiritual,metaphysical books. There are even some Astrology books. I was looking at BENEATH A VEDIC SUN by William R. Levacy. I have his BENEATH A VEDIC SKY.

its a unity church based on new thought principles
It's Christian in regards to christ consciousness
It's not Christian in regards to accept Jesus as your lord and savior or else go to hell (I can't stand dogma)
It's a church where any religion,faith is accepted (interfaith)

It's based on New Thought which is has similarities with New Age.

Unity Church has some similarities with Unitarian Universalism.

Transiting Saturn in Virgo conjunct my Christen in Virgo in 12th house,opposing my Moon in Pisces in 6th, squaring my Christa-Unitas-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd. That indicates my religious,spiritual issues....feeling restricted,limited and the need to do something about it by getting involved in a religious community.

Transiting Jupiter is sextile my 2nd/9th house ruler Venus in 3rd,and transiting Uranus is trine my Venus. That indicates that there can be positive expansion,change involving values and religion.

Transiting Pluto is in my 4th squaring my Pluto in Libra in 1st which indicates a deep personal transformation.

Transiting Venus is conjunct my Chiron in 8th and transiting Chiron is in my 6th house,squaring my Venus in Scorpio......double focus Venus-Chiron transit...indicates emphasis on healing,holistic matters that can help with my relations,selfworth.

Transiting Neptune is conjunct my Mars in Aquarius in 6th, and that indicates emphasis on spiritual community,routine.

Transiting Mars is trining my chart ruler Mercury in Scorpio in 3rd which indicates initiating,energizing communications.

I had never heard of her until a couple months ago when my sister gave me a box of "stuff", in it was a folder that contained transcriptions from my late mother who attended one of Betty's lectures in the early 70's, at the beginning of her career. I've contacted Inner Light and they are interested in having a copy for their records.

So thank you for bringing up her name, its a reminder that I have to get on that...

Betty was amazing...I saw her probably about 20 years ago or so, only once at the church I mentioned. Truly a gifted individual. I didn't realize she transitioned...now I want to look up some things about her.
