The Grants Pass Center for Spiritual Living
is a member of the United
Centers for Spiritual Living (formerly
know as United Church of Religious Science). United Centers
for Spiritual Living belongs to a group of traditions known as
“New Thought”. Another new thought church you might be familiar
with is Unity. Founded in the early 1900’s we should not be
confused with “New Age”. Although some “New Age” individuals
feel at home in our spiritual communities, we teach that there
is only one source or power in the universe, and that power is
God.
As a member of United Centers we are committed to the vision of
“A World that Works for Everyone”. It is our intention to go beyond
tolerance to a place of understanding. We teach that there are many
paths to God. We are often called the golden thread that runs through
all major religious traditions. This is not to say that we do not
have our own beliefs, we do indeed have a philosophical belief system,
which is described in our “What We Believe Statement”.
Our “What We Believe Statement” begins, “We believe in God, the Living
Spirit Almighty, One, Indestructible, Absolute and Self-Existent
Cause. This One manifests itself in and through all creation.” We
believe there is One all encompassing power and that power is God.
We also believe that we, as expressions of God. create our lives
through a natural law of cause and effect. We are empowered to change
our lives by changing our thinking and our beliefs. Our beliefs
are simple, but not necessarily easy. We feel they do, however,
have the potential to transform our world into a place of peace and
into a “World that Works for Everyone”.
