About Us

Centers for Spiritual Living supports the positive transformation of personal lives and the world itself.

At Centers for Spiritual Living, we teach people how to have a personal relationship with God. When we are deeply connected with Spirit, other areas of our lives fall into place — we can do more for others, be better stewards of the Earth, and bring more peace and harmony to the world.

We teach the Science of Mind®, which offers practical spiritual tools based on the wisdom of the ages and New Thought principles, in order to promote awakening and personal growth. With a variety of services available, Centers for Spiritual Living meets the needs of families, singles, children, adults, and seniors. Whatever your lifestyle or spiritual path, you are welcomed. Our spiritual communities are ready to embrace, love, and accept you as you are. Everyone is included on the path to God!

What We Believe

We believe that the universe is spiritual and has intelligence, purpose, beauty, and order. Our beliefs are in harmony with all the world’s great spiritual teachings, and we honor all paths to God. Whether we call it God, Spirit, Energy, or Universal Intelligence, we are ever conscious that all people, places, and things emanate from this Universal Intelligence that is within us and all around us.

You and God are Inseparable

We believe that God is a Loving Intelligence, operating in and through all life, never separate from anyone or anything. Through study and spiritual practice we come to understand our oneness with this indwelling Divine Presence. We teach and practice a way of life where we can all learn how to live in accordance with spiritual principles. These principles, which we call the Science of Mind, are as reliable as the laws of physical science. We believe in Cause and Effect and teach that “It is done unto you as you believe.” In essence, your thinking and your expectations create your reality. By studying and applying spiritual laws, you can change your unconscious beliefs and create improved conditions in your life.
