WHAT WE BELIEVE We believe that the universe is spiritual and has intelligence, purpose, beauty, and order. HONOR ALL PATHS 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 or Universal Intelligence, we are always conscious that all people, places, and things come from this Divine Presence that is within each of us and is all around us. We understand God as a Loving Intelligence, inseparable from all life. SCIENCE OF MIND Through study and practice, we discover our unity with this inner 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. BELIEVE We believe in Cause and Effect and we teach that, “It is done unto you as you believe.” (Matt 9:29) 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. FIND YOURSELF Experience the transformative journey of finding yourself at our spiritual center, where you'll embark on a soul-stirring exploration, unearthing your passions, values, and purpose. Immerse yourself in a nurturing community, embrace empowering teachings, and unleash the authentic essence that resides within you, igniting a life of authenticity, fulfillment, and self-realization. ERNEST HOLMES Religious Science was founded in 1926 by Dr. Ernest Holmes, an internationally recognized authority on religious psychology. He began a journey of exploration and research that profoundly affected thinkers throughout America. His works, based on the teachings of great philosophers, the sacred wisdom of both Eastern and Western traditions, offer a philosophy of religion and psychology that emphasizes the limitless potential of the human mind.

WHAT IS NEW THOUGHT Despite its name, New Thought isn't actually new. New Thought tradition originated in the 1880s and draws inspiration from the philosophical idealism of Classical Greece and the Transcendentalist Movement of the 1830s. It's origins go back to classical Greek philosophy and P. P. Quimby, the founder of New Thought, even claimed that the movement had rediscovered Jesus' healing methods. New Thought combines philosophical idealism with a practical focus on addressing humanity's challenges and promoting healing. ​ Throughout its history, New Thought has been shaped by influential figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Phineas Quimby, and Walt Whitman. Present-day authors who embody New Thought teachings include Michael Bernard Beckwith, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Byron Katie, Caroline Myss, Gregg Braden, Eckhart Tolle, and many others. ​ The teachings of New Thought encompass the wisdom of various spiritual traditions across time. Our community welcomes individuals from all spiritual paths and those who are seeking a spiritual path of their own. We embrace the ancient wisdom of diverse spiritual traditions as we strive to create a nurturing space for everyone.

School For Spiritual Leadership Ministry is Calling You CSL School for Spiritual Leadership is the noteworthy training program for Religious Science Ministry.

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? Classes are conducted on a quarterly basis so that the student can begin classes in any quarter after acceptance to the program. New classes generally begin in September, January, April, and June.

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.
