Welcome to the Youth and Family Ministry

at the Center for Spiritual Living!

Every child has known God, Not the God of names, Not the God of don’ts, Not the God who ever does anything weird, But the God who only knows four words, And keeps repeating them, saying: “Come dance with Me.” Come dance. –Hafiz, 14th Century Persian Poet and Mystic (Daniel Ladinsky translation)

The Youth and Family Ministry at the Center for Spiritual Living is dedicated to the spiritual unfoldment of this world’s most precious resource – the children.

The Center's Philosophy. Children enter into this world remembering GOD as their essence. They are pure vessels of LOVE and JOY.  As much as we think we are teaching them….they simply are reminding us of the truth of our being.

Conformity tries to creep in as they grow older, societal influences try to indoctrinate our little ones into littleness.  Our service is to provide the “rain”—prayer and practices—for these GOD seeds that nurture them into the fullness of their being.   

Our purpose is to provide a positive, loving environment for our children and teens to make discoveries about themselves as they grow and come to know God within all things and beings.

The YFM Team is committed to creating and providing an extraordinary family experience for those who attend the Center for Spiritual Living. We view our ministry as people who care for our young and honor our elders.  We are intentionally inclusive of all types of families and welcome those who may or may not be parents to participate in our diverse programs.

Ultimately, YFM is about learning, sharing and having lots of fun! We offer a unique, positive Science of Mind education for children of all ages during their Sunday morning experience.  Through storytelling and singing, art creations, fun and fabulous Sunday morning classes, our youth are centered in the GOD presence, dance in their unique essence and grow in a space of unconditional love.

* All questions and curiosities about GOD are especially welcomed.
* All paths are celebrated.
* Authenticity and uniqueness is nurtured.

Energetic and playful, we encourage meditation, affirmations and straight to the heart of GOD  prayer--their way—uniquely connecting in Spirit.  

Special events or family oriented activities are held throughout the year to support the spiritual growth of the families who attend the Center for Spiritual Living.

Please check our current calendar of events.
