Founder Story

HELLO, I’M REV JEN HUTCHINS

My mission is to inspire self-reflection and personal transformation through spiritual principles and the healing power of art. Unity teachings along with expressive arts activities provided an outlet for me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Smearing paint in an art journal as a form of meditation allowed me to process grief, embrace joy and ultimately experience a deeper connection with Spirit.

I founded UAM in 2017 in order to share with you the creative tools I have learned along the way. It has been a joy to work alongside a supportive team and to witness participants experience a greater sense of connection, hope and creative freedom through this ministry.

“It has meant a lot to me to find a Unity ministry that focuses on Spirit through creative expression – whatever form that expression may take. Imagine understanding Unity principles at a deeper level by expressing your inner experiences through creative expression!”

Testimonials

Together We Make a Difference

Unity Arts Ministry has had an incredible impact on my life. I couldn’t be more grateful that I have found a group where I can express myself artistically. The group is filled with amazing people whose positive energy makes a wonderful place for creativity. They are welcoming to people of all artistic backgrounds, and inspire us to use the arts to connect with one another.

Sheila Rhea Gaylord

Spiritual Director, Unity Temple of Denver, CO

Unity Arts Ministry opened many doors for me. The heaviest door opened was an outlet for coping with pain. Then the doors kept opening! I began to uncover, resolve, learn, make friends, and CREATE in ways I didn’t think were possible.

Alaina Gibson

Lee’s Summit, MO

Jeniffer Hutchins’ heart is like a broad canvas upon which love, calm, creativity, and goodness is beautifully illustrated. It is from this place she serves and teaches; while gently teasing out in others, creative curiosity that skillfully guides them beyond timidity to a place of courageous authentic expression.
