  • LEGACY | RBCSL

    Your financial generosity has the power to make a positive difference in people’s lives now and into the future. Just as an acorn becomes a mighty oak, your contributions today will take root and support our community for generations offering this powerful spiritual teaching. Giving is how we grow together. 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: Gifts through your IRA account If you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), donating directly from your IRA may lower your taxable income. 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. Your funds would be electronically transferred. Donor Advised Fund Gifts If you have a donor advised fund (DAF), you may give a distribution from it to RBCSL, making it part of your charitable giving plan. Monthly Giving Some people prefer to give monthly and have set up an automatic monthly offering through our donation platform. IRA Beneficiary Consider adding RBCSL as one of your beneficiaries to your IRA account(s). Keep in mind, if you designate a family member, or another person, they may be taxed on the inherited money and in some cases required to withdraw the full amount in a specific number of years. Bequests 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. It’s easy to change if your goals or circumstances change. Additionally, you may designate your gift to support a specific program or project. Life Insurance If you have an existing life insurance policy, naming RBCSL as owner and/or beneficiary may allow your ultimate gift to be far greater than your original investment in the policy. Information provided here is to support you with options for giving and is not intended to be tax or financial advice. Consult your financial adviser and/or accountant if you have any tax related questions or how to process a gift through your retirement and other financial accounts. Our Tax ID: 95-2022930. Ready to explore the best way to give? For questions or to discuss giving options, please contact us at 310-540-5080 or office@redondocsl.org

If this Spiritual Path of service is calling you, if ministry is calling you, call our office at 310-540-5080. Frequently Asked Questions What are the components of ministerial study? Ministerial Study has three main elements: The academic aspect is offered through distance education at the Holmes Institute, which features professors who are well-established in their fields. Ministerial Training is taught by experienced Ministers of Centers for Spiritual Living in a classroom atmosphere. The third aspect is the Practicum Program, which is the hands-on experience in every aspect of church life. How do I apply to the CSL School of Spiritual Leadership? Make an appointment with our Dean by calling 310-540-5080. She will discuss the program with you and review the entrance process. How long does it take to complete the program? There are several programs to consider. In conversations with the Dean, you will explore your options as to which program is the right program for you. Most students take about three to four years to complete their program, but there is an accelerated program available. What is the cost of the program? Again, there are several programs to consider with differing costs based on a number of factors. The Dean can assist you in choosing the best ministerial program for you. The range of tuition and fees is approximately $20,000 – $24,000 for a three-year program. When can I register for classes and begin?

  • PRACTITIONERS | RBCSL

    "Discover our dedicated practitioners at Redondo Center for Spiritual Living. Explore their expertise and commitment to supporting personal growth and spiritual well-being. Connect with our compassionate community in Redondo Beach, California at redondocsl.org/practitioners." Practitioners Finding Inspiration in Every Turn A Practitioner is a person of high spiritual consciousness and deep understanding, trained in the study of the Science of Mind and “Treatment.” Treatment is the art, science, and skill of Affirmative Prayer. Practitioners are dedicated to the cause of helping others, licensed to practice professionally, and bound by a high code of ethics to respect your privacy. Meet The Team Mail 310-379-6653 Patti Donnelly Mail 310-972-1828 Annie Hofmann Donovan Mail 310-373-7288 Maureen McKinney Mail 310-819-2524 Marc Ruth Mail 310-292-7900 Monica Ruth Mail 310-938-1938 Bernice Slocovich Mail 310-344-8143 Elaine Yuzuke Professional Practitioner Services Contact the Center for Spiritual Living Redondo Beach to make an appointment with a practitioner, or connect with a practitioner after Sunday service, either for a full appointment or a One Minute Miracle. A full appointment is more interactive with the practitioner in order to discover more about the belief that is causing disharmony. Each practitioner comes from a loving space of nonjudgment and confidentiality. What Is Affirmative Prayer? The use of Affirmative Prayer (sometimes referred to as a “Spiritual Mind Treatment” or just “Treatment”) in our daily lives gives us the privilege of choosing the direction of our thoughts, so we are in harmony with a Power greater than we are, and brings our experience out of the darkness of limitation. It is a very powerful tool used to change one’s thoughts, one’s beliefs, and one’s experiences in a positive way. Do I Need a Practitioner? Practitioners are dedicated to the cause of helping others, licensed to practice professionally, and bound by a high code of ethics to respect your privacy. Ask yourself the following questions: Am I too close to my own problem to see the situation clearly? Do I feel that something is blocking that which I am seeking? Do I feel that I lack the experience with, the training in, or the understanding of the Science of Mind principles necessary to resolve the difficulty? If any of these questions can be answered “Yes,” a Practitioner can be very beneficial and helpful to you. FAQs Once I decide to seek the services of a practitioner, what do I do next? When you have decided to seek the services of a Practitioner, you can help by trusting the process: Have faith in the Mind of God. It is Omnipotent and It does the work. Contemplate your challenge and get clear on what you want to accomplish in consciousness. Release your problem by giving it to your Practitioner. Be ready to move forward in consciousness and accept a healing. Endeavor to keep a positive attitude. Be expectant, accepting every good thing as part of your demonstration. Be thankful. Give thanks for the wonderful change that is taking place in your life. Do I need to be present in order for Affirmative Prayer to work? No. Affirmative Prayers are just as effective if the Practitioner is in your presence, on the telephone, or on the other side of the world. There is only One Mind: One Infinite Intelligence and that Mind is everywhere present. Can I do Affirmative Prayer for myself? Yes. The Practitioner will also assist you in the process and correct use of Affirmative Prayer. For example, the following simple Affirmative Prayer alone can raise your consciousness and your level of acceptance of good in your life, "There is One Universal Life, and I am unified with It. I declare that within this Divine Life, there is all that I need for a healthy, happy, prosperous life. I accept this good gladly, turning away from any appearance to the contrary. In deep gratitude I give thanks – I let go and let God. And so it is." After I receive the services of a practitioner, what can I do to assist in the manifestation of my good? Have faith in the healing power of the “Spirit within”. Use the Affirmative Prayer given to you by the Practitioner as many times as necessary every day. Focus on your desired outcome. Keep a positive attitude. Be grateful. Give heartfelt thanks, knowing the wonderful changes that are taking place in your life. Why is there a cost to work with a practitoner? Practitioners have taken at least 3 years of Science of Mind classes. They have done their own spiritual work and continue to invest in themselves. They are professionals and their experience, knowledge, skills, and time are valued. Recognize that treatment work is never withheld because of an inability to pay. Simply explain to the Practitioner, and ask for work in the area of prosperity so that you can start to heal that and be in a stable financial condition.
