We meet VIRTUALLY for the forseeable future
Our Center is a member church of Centers for Spiritual Living, and our teaching or philosophy is the Science of Mind. We are guided by a declaration of Principles that says in short:
We believe and teach that there is One Power, and only one Power in this universe, that flows through, and is, in everything, everywhere, at all times. This Power can be, and is called many things including God, Spirit, Universal Mind, Nature, and Creator.
We believe and teach that there is only One Source, but many avenues from which to hear Truth. Each person has an inner knowing of what is true and what is not. Your truth is important and it matters not whether you hear it from the pulpit or the podium.
We believe and teach that this One Power is non-judgmental, holds no grudges, thinks not of what happened yesterday, but gives us all we need today, for us to have a successful and happy life.
We believe and teach that this One Universal Power responds to our thoughts in exactly the same way and to the same degree that we believe them. It gives to us freely without reservation what we ask for in our thoughts.
We believe and teach that everything comes from this one power, and it is our judgment that determines whether it is good or not.
We believe and teach that physical healing is done first in the mind, then in the body of the person suffering a dis-ease, and when we become at ease within our minds we then allow the healing to occur.
We believe and teach about the ongoing life of Spirit , forever expressing as us, and in everything around us, and this expression is perfect as it is.
This is the great message the Science of Mind brings to people of all faiths. It is a fresh concept of religion as a life philosophy and a science. As a philosophy, the Science of Mind presents a practical, down-to-earth way of thinking about the nature of the Universe and our relationship to it. As a religion, it presents a philosophy that is both mentally stimulating and emotionally satisfying. As a science, it presents specific and definite ideas which you can demonstrate for yourself and directly experience the benefits in your life.
The Science of Mind is a system of mental and spiritual principles, combined with a technique for the application of these principles. It is designed to live and expand consciousness in ways that lead to an even higher order of livingness. It emphasizes the spiritual connection of all, thus promoting peace and greater harmony at all levels of experience. The consistent application of the Science of Mind principles result in health, satisfying relationships, enhanced creativity, and prosperity.
The Science of Mind is not a closed system of thought. It grows continually as humankind evolves, drawing on the frontiers of knowledge as well as the wisdom of the ages.
