Vision
To open eyes and mend broken hearts around the world with a refreshing and clear view of the Gospel through excellence in the arts.
Mission
Unity uses art and dance to create high-impact productions that ignite passion and provide clear truth by which to view life.
AUSTIN & ALEXIS
Austin and Alexis met at Lee University in 2011 and were married in the fall of 2014. Alexis, who founded the company in 2010, graduated with a BS in Accounting but quickly knew that her life was meant for discipleship, teaching, and performing. Austin graduated with a degree in Psychology in 2013 and graduated with his MBA in 2019.
Both have devoted their lives to Unity, creating a culture of excellence, integrity, and joy in the local dance community. Together, they produce theatrical productions and direct Unity's Discipleship Program.
They have also worked diligently to develop a fully operational school of the arts and dance. Austin and Alexis look to bring the heart of Unity all over the world.
