Your question can be interpreted in at least two ways.
Are you asking if there's a group who wants unity of all Christian groups?
Are you asking if there's a group that believes in "unity" to explain the nature of God (instead of "trinity")?

The "Trinity" which is a "Unity" of One, GOD, can make a Unity out of the Diversity of the Children of GOD (The "Church") IF we will Let HIM (The Unitised Trinity!).
Now say: "Unitised Trinity"
Three Times Real Fast in a Row!

Can unity be achieved in the same way today? Can these same factors still draw members of a faith together and enable them to be at peace with all races in all parts of the world? Yes, they can! Jehovah’s Witnesses are united in a worldwide brotherhood spanning more than 235 lands, islands, and territories. And they are united by the same factors that united Christians in the first century.
Foremost in contributing to the unity enjoyed by Jehovah’s Witnesses is their devotion to Jehovah God. This means that they strive to be loyal to him under all circumstances. Witnesses of Jehovah also exercise faith in Jesus Christ and in his teachings. These Christians show self-sacrificing love for fellow believers and preach the same good news of God’s Kingdom in all the lands where they are active. They are happy to talk about this Kingdom with people of all faiths, races, nationalities, and social groups. Jehovah’s Witnesses also remain neutral in the affairs of the world, which helps them to withstand the political, cultural, social, and commercial pressures that are so divisive among mankind. All Witnesses accept their obligation to promote unity by conducting themselves in harmony with Bible standards.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have demonstrated that it is possible to achieve unity in belief and action even in today’s disunited world. In their ranks are former members of many different religions and ethnic groups. Other Witnesses were formerly agnostics or atheists. Still others simply gave no serious thought to religion. Out of this diversity of religions, cultures, and philosophies have come individuals who now enjoy a religious unity that is not otherwise seen in the world today.
The basis for such unity is God’s Word, the Bible.

Not sure what you mean by "unity", however, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that is one God and not 1/3 of a godhead.
Christians are Christians because they follow the teachings of the Christ. Jesus, himself, said that there were things that the Father knew that he didn't.

Of course there are groups that believe in "unity".
But, are they "Christian"?
The Disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
The Disciples believed in the Deity of Jesus Christ.
It is possible to Unitarians to be called "Christian" if they don't believe in the Deity of Jesus?

Mormons (aka Latter-Day Saints) do not believe in the trinity. We believe that the Godhead has 3 seperate beings who are one in purpose.
We consider ourselves to be Christians because we believe that Jesus Christ died to atone for our sins. To see what the President of this church has said about Jesus Christ... click on the following link: http://mormon.org/question/faq/category/answer/0,9777,1601-1-55-16,00.html

Jesus and his Father Jehovah are two different spirit persons, but are united in their thinking and are in full accord with each other. At GENESIS 2:24 consider what God says regarding a marraige--" Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Notice, it says one flesh---when a man takes a wife, does that mean that the husband is also the wife in the same body? No, of course not, but that is how people think of God and his Son. When the Bible says that God and Jesus are "one" it means they are separate, yet in agreement with each other.
Jesus said this in prayer to his Father in heaven at JOHN 17:11--
"And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are."
Jesus was praying about his disciples, that they would be "one" just as he and God were "one"
Did the disciples actually become one person or were they one in unity?
No matter how you try to reason with Trinitarians, they cannot seem to grasp the truth about who the true God really is. They insist on worshipping a triad of Gods. Jesus is the mediator between us and Jehovah God (PSALM 83:18).
Jesus was exalted to be a Prince and Saviour as stated at ACTS 5:31--"Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
Jehovah's Witnesses know that Jehovah and Jesus are "one " in unity, not body and that is what the Bible really teaches.

Yahweh Elohim is Father, Word & Holy Spirit and they are One (Unity).
In the beginning Elohim (Father, Word & Holy Spirit) created the heavens & the earth...
We are made in Gods' Image. Flesh, soul & spirit until we die spiritually. We die spiritually when purposely rebellion against God or God's Truth and are then spiritually blind / disabled. To see the Kingdom of God we must be reborn spiritually.
