SPIRITUAL VISIONARY, Reverend Kyra Baehr
Vision to Reality!
Reverend Kyra
Baehr is the founding minister of Unity of Divine Love located in Tempe,
Arizona. Kyra was graduate and ordained by the Association of Unity Churches
and Unity School for Religious Studies in June of 1997. Her first three
years in ministry were as an Associate Minister to her husband, Reverend
Joel Baehr at Unity Church of Mesa. The last couple years have found Kyra
pioneering the new church.
Kyra came
in the ministry with close to twenty years prior corporate and non-profit
experience as an executive at United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast in Houston,
Texas, as a National Trainer for Appelbaum Institute, and as a personal
recruiter and manager with Diversified Human Resource Group.
Kyra's values
for living: To live, love, serve and express from a conscious awareness
of the divinity of all life. To teach and inspire others to experience
their oneness and live a grace-filled existence in alignment with divine
flow and prosperity.
Unity Women's Ministry and Council "Her"story
Women's events began in 1999 with the first
weekend retreat. The founding visionaries were Kyra, Mariette Holland,
and Barbara Powers to name only a few. From that point in time there have
been two events per year - one a weekend retreat (October) and the other
a day celebration (March).
The
creation of the Unity Women's Ministry Council began in the spring of
2004 after approximately five years of women's events. The structure of
The Council is to organize and coordinate the various spiritual areas
within the ministry. Also, to delegate the tasks of the a functioning
ministry more evenly allowing women spiritual growth through their expression,
their talent and volunteered time in specific areas.
