The mission and purpose of KRST Unity Center is to provide a loving and supportive atmosphere for personal and spiritual growth for all people to learn how to apply the KRST principles to master our lives. The KRST principle is an ancient Egyptian or Kemetic principle of the Christ, the Transformative Power of The All that is within each and every person.
