Unity of Massillon

Unity of Massillon (formerly Unity Church of Truth) sits on six wooded acres in Jackson Township, near Massillon, Ohio, serving the greater Canton-Massillon area. The congregation traces back to a study group formed in the early 1900s, incorporated as the Unity Society in 1931, and settled at its present Wales Avenue location in 1976. The church hosts weddings, christenings, and celebrations of life, along with baby showers, wedding showers, recitals, reunions, and birthday parties. Its sanctuary seats up to 85 guests and includes a grand piano for live musical accompaniment. A chair lift installed in 2011 gives guests with mobility challenges access from the side parking lot directly into the lower level and up to the sanctuary. The grounds also include a Memorial Garden near the main entrance, a quiet space surrounded by memorial bricks for reflection. Couples and families arranging an event are directed to contact the church office to reserve a date on the calendar.
