Every dollar given to the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living is valued and invested wisely to support our mission. Explore the many ways you may contribute to the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living’s shared vision of sustainability and growth: Bequests - Wills and Trusts Consider creating a lasting impact by adding RBCSL to your will or trust. It is flexible as you may designate a specific amount or asset, a percentage of your estate, or what is left in your estate after other obligations have been met. Beneficiary Designations through your IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) account Consider adding RBCSL as one of your beneficiaries to your tax deferred savings account(s). Gifts through your IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) account If you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) at or above age 73 from your tax deferred savings account, donating directly a portion, up to the total RMD, from your tax deferred savings account may lower your taxable income. The funds must transfer directly from your IRA to RBCSL. Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities Instead of cash, you may use appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares to make a gift. You may be able to claim a federal income tax charitable deduction for the full appreciated value of the securities and may avoid paying any capital gains tax on the transaction. Life Insurance If you have an existing life insurance policy, naming RBCSL as a full or partial beneficiary may allow your ultimate gift to be far greater than your original investment in the policy. Contact RBCSL should you desire to donate the policy as there are tax and other issues to consider. Planned Giving is Your Legacy Ready to explore the best way to give?

Teens have the opportunity to go to CSL summer camp and winter camp, an experience rooted in connection, self-love, and empowerment. Each week in the teen group can look a little different. Twice a month they participate in workshops. When not doing workshops, the teens brainstorm and prep fundraising for teen camp. They also have social hang outs in various ways, like art, nature time, or just chatting. This is a place for teens to be themselves outside of the social pressures of school. From time to time, we meet with other Teen CSL communities. The teens are the ones that make this program thrive, having a group that they can grow with as life in high school shifts each year. See our children's program newsletter for upcoming teen workshops. Below are some teen workshops we have done in the past. The following flyers are for past events.

- OUR STORY | RBCSL
Discover the rich history of Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living, dating back to 1947. From its inception at the Masonic Temple to its present iconic location, the center remains a beacon of spiritual enlightenment rooted in Science of Mind philosophy. Learn more at redondocsl.org/our-center. OUR STORY The Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living has a rich history that dates back to 1947. The church's first services took place at the Masonic Temple on Ruby Street in Redondo Beach, with twelve members and a pastor named Dr. A. Schultz. In 1948, Dr. Schultz relocated to Los Angeles, prompting the charter members to search for a new pastor. They ultimately selected Dr. Earl D. Barnum, affectionately called "Barney," who quickly became beloved by the congregation. Under Dr. Barnum's leadership, the church experienced growth and in 1961, they moved to their current location on Knob Hill. The initial building on Knob Hill consisted of Richelieu Hall and the Kitchen. However, as the church expanded, the need for dedicated space for their children became evident. Thus, the Youth Center was constructed in early 1962 as an extension of the existing Hall, which served as the Sanctuary. After serving the church for several years, Dr. Barnum decided to retire, leaving a void to be filled. The congregation had a list of potential ministers, but Dr. Barnum was captivated by Rev. Frank Richelieu's message when he heard him speak at a Religious Science conference. As a result, Dr. Richelieu was chosen to succeed Dr. Barnum. Under the leadership of Drs. Frank and Anita Richelieu, who began their service in 1962, the church experienced remarkable growth. To accommodate the expanding congregation, architect Howard B. Van Heuklyn collaborated with Dr. Richelieu to envision the iconic structure that stands today. The new section, including the current Sanctuary and offices, was unveiled in 1973. Dr. Frank and Anita Richelieu served as Co-Pastors of the Redondo Beach Church of Religious Science for an impressive 38 years before retiring in October 2000. They had identified their successor, Dr. Moira Foxe, who assumed the pastoral role in October 2000. In 2008, the church celebrated its sixtieth year as a chartered church, even though it had been in existence for 61 years. Since 1954, the Redondo Beach Church of Religious Science has been affiliated with Religious Science International. In 2008, the church and another religious teaching organization called United Church of Religious Science made the decision to merge and adopt the name Centers for Spiritual Living. The official union of the two organizations occurred in February 2012, and the church is now known as the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living. In June 2011, a Montessori School was established within the Center building, and it occupies the renovated Youth Center space on school days. The church is grateful for the opportunity to share their space with such a wonderful organization. Throughout its 75+ year history, the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living has been a beacon of light in the community, offering life-changing philosophy rooted in Science of Mind teachings. The center provides a welcoming and loving church home for all who seek spiritual growth and aims to honor each individual, nurture their spirit, and enrich the lives of those it serves.
