Not at all. Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious background, spiritual beliefs, or life experience. Some of our members come from traditional faiths, some practice other spiritual paths, and others are simply exploring. We believe questions are just as valuable as answers.
Our Sunday Gatherings include uplifting music, meditation, inspirational readings, a practical message, and opportunities for reflection and connection. Services are relaxed, welcoming, and designed to leave you feeling encouraged and empowered for the week ahead.
Whatever makes you comfortable. Some people dress casually, while others enjoy dressing up a bit. You'll find everything from jeans to business casual. Come as you are.
Absolutely. We welcome individuals, couples, families, and people of every age and stage of life. Whether you're attending alone or with loved ones, we hope you'll feel at home here.
Of course! Many people attend several times before deciding whether they'd like to become more involved. There is never any pressure to join.
New Thought is a spiritual philosophy that teaches that our thoughts, beliefs, and consciousness influence the experiences we create in our lives. It encourages personal responsibility, spiritual growth, compassion, and the understanding that each person has a direct relationship with the Divine.
We embrace the timeless principles of New Thought while remaining independent and locally guided. That allows us to honor many wisdom traditions, welcome diverse perspectives, and respond creatively to the needs of our community while remaining rooted in universal spiritual principles.
Science of Mind is a practical spiritual philosophy developed by Ernest Holmes. Rather than asking people what to believe, it encourages them to discover spiritual principles that can be applied in everyday life, bringing greater peace, purpose, love, abundance, and joy.
Not in the laboratory sense. Ernest Holmes used the word "science" to describe a set of spiritual principles that could be practiced consistently. The emphasis is on personal experience; learning, applying, and discovering what brings greater harmony into your life.
Ernest Holmes (1887–1960) was an American spiritual teacher, philosopher, and author who founded the Science of Mind philosophy. Drawing inspiration from many of the world's spiritual traditions, he emphasized the unity of all life, the creative power of thought, and our innate connection with the Divine.
Yes, although people may use different names and understandings. We often refer to God as Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, Universal Love, Divine Presence, or simply Life itself. We honor the many ways people experience and describe the Sacred.
Our teachings include many of Jesus' spiritual principles, but we also honor wisdom found in Buddhism, Hinduism, Indigenous traditions, Judaism, Islam, mysticism, modern psychology, and other paths. We believe truth can be found in many traditions.
No. We encourage thoughtful exploration, personal experience, and open dialogue. Spiritual growth begins with curiosity, not conformity.
Transformation happens more easily when we grow together. Encouragement, friendship, shared experiences, and meaningful conversations help us practice spiritual principles in everyday life. We believe everyone has something valuable to contribute.
Yes! Throughout the year we offer meditation, Deeksha (Oneness Blessings), classes, workshops, guest speakers, community outreach projects, retreats, social gatherings, and opportunities to connect with others on the spiritual journey.
Deeksha (also known as the Oneness Blessing) is a gentle, non-denominational energy blessing intended to support inner peace, expanded awareness, and a deeper sense of connection. Participation is always optional, and everyone is welcome regardless of their beliefs.
Wonderful! Many people begin here. Guided meditation is simply an opportunity to become still, quiet the mind, and reconnect with yourself. No previous experience is necessary.
Not at all. You don't have to know the terminology, have a meditation practice, or consider yourself "spiritual." If you're seeking inspiration, connection, or simply a place to breathe and reflect, you're welcome here.
There are many ways to participate! Attend Sunday Gatherings, join a class or workshop, volunteer at an event, participate in outreach projects, or simply stay after service for conversation and coffee. Relationships grow naturally over time.
No. Many people enjoy being part of the community without becoming formal members. Membership is available for those who wish to make a deeper commitment to supporting the Center and its mission.
Our offerings support the practical work of the Center, including our gathering space, music, classes, outreach efforts, community programs, and future growth. Giving is always voluntary and offered as a joyful expression of gratitude rather than obligation.
