Church Musician 

Mark Stanton Welch has been the Music Director for Unity Christ Church in San Luis Obispo, California for the last 12 years. During that time Mark has written 100’s of songs that have been in alignment with the theme of the Sunday morning talk and the morning meditation. In addition he has created many joy songs that perfectly supported the beginning and endings of the morning celebration. Working carefully with the minister to choreograph the music for the service has been his forte.

In addition to his Sunday service responsibilities, Mark also worked with the church children at all levels , from the little ones to the Uniteens to the Youth of Unity. He has created songs that are in alignment with spiritual principles and taught them to the children. His songbooks for the young children and the teens are in use in many churches and regions throughout the Unity movement.

Mark has also organized and accompanied and directed and composed for an ongoing church choir, The Community of Light Singers. The choir performed monthly. He has written and staged major pageants and musicals focusing on the Jesus experience during Christmas and Easter. Choir members as well as congregants and children were involved.

With 22 CD’s and several songbooks, Mark’s products provide a wide variety to meet the tastes of the audience. Mark is willing to perform presentation and interactive concerts and has a portfolio of 10 workshops which he has presented successfully.

Mark‘s music is powerful and sensitive and in alignment with the spiritual principles of these times. Bringing him to your church or event is a positive and memorable experience.


Some of the meditation chants
Mark has created:

I’m here in the heart
I’m here in the heart
I’m here in the heart of God
Where I belong
          from, Here in the Heart

My eyes are open wide
My heart is filled with Love
I Am the perfect work of God
          from, The Perfect Work

Yes, to the Power that cannot die
Yes, to the Christ 
Who dwells inside
Power, Love, Truth, and Grace
Universe shine in every face
          from, Yes

When night has come 
And I Am standing alone
When I seem lost 
So far from my home
I will turn to the voice
That calls deep from within
It’s You, Lord, 
And You will always be there
          from, It’s You, Lord

According to my Faith 
Just as I believe it
This is the world I see
I expand and open
Knowing nothing is impossible
What I expect shall be
Unlimited, God in me
          from, According to My Faith

I surrender, give up control
To the Will of God
All my actions flow most freely
From the Will of God
Oh…
          from, The Will

You and I are one 
with the whole of life
All are in a union 
With the Holy Light
Every single thought
Every word and form
In the Heart of God 
Eternally borne
          from, You and I

You are Love
I see Christ in you
I see Light 
Pouring forth from you
I bless 
Everything that you are
          from, You are Love
