Rev. Barbara Hribar on Grateful

Rev. Barbara's Unity studies began in 1980, becoming a Licensed Unity Teacher in 2002. Moving into her new home in Medina in 2002, Barbara accepted an invitation to form a Unity study group. With a passion for reading, sharing, encouraging, leading and interacting with other Unity minded folks, the group was approved as an official study group with the Association of Unity Churches Worldwide Services on September 4, 2002. Barbara became the founding spiritual leader and administrator at that time. Accepting the challenge to pioneer a study group, Barbara has held to her vision of serving and supporting individuals on their spiritual path.

It was in January 2004 that Sunday services began, and in July 2008 that the Unity of Medina moved to their new church home, Unity Life Enrichment Center at Williams on the Lake. As a part of the four year Unity ministerial program, she became a Licensed Unity Minister in 2007 and with completion of these studies her Unity ordination was March 18, 2010. Unity studies continue to be a part of her personal on-going spiritual work.

Her vision is to continue to create a safe environment for individuals to explore spiritual principles and Truths. She sees all people as sacred and sets the atmosphere for a sacred space which will facilitate individuals in experiencing spiritual transformation and Oneness with the One. Reverend Barbara believes that all have a calling to realize their spiritual identity and potential, and it is her mission to lovingly encourage and support that process. As those who come are empowered to know and to exercise their spiritual powers, not only do individuals grow, but Unity of Medina also grows and expands. Unity of Medina makes a difference in the world!
