Welcome to our site! Living Spirit Church is a celebration of life. What are we doing here? We are an independent, New Thought Christian church here to stake a claim in conscious living through the demonstrations and teachings of Jesus the Christ. While our service invites you to express Spirit through many art forms (dance, spoken word, music, art), Living Spirit's mission is to express Love, and we are diffusing that Love in the form of a spiritual community, which extends outside the walls of our church to a global culture.
We welcome you to join us every Sunday for our service: 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., and we invite you to all activities and programs described on this site. Our doors are open, with love.
Blessings,
Minister Vicki Goldston
Principles of Living Spirit Church
1) We live, recognizing the omniprescence of God, the only power.
2) We live, honoring our connection to each other through Christ prescence, and we honor all paths to Truth.
3) We live, practicing prayer and meditation to remain open and aware of our inherent spiritual nature.
4) We live in the dominion of right thinking and right acting, understanding the intention of love as the foundation of all our needs.
5) We live in the knowing that God is the source of our supply for every facet of our loving self, and we accept our inheritance of peace, prosperity, happiness, tranformation, and love.
6) We live, expressing the gifts of gratitude and forgiveness to sustain our spiritual growth and development.
7) We live knowing "Love has the final word.", and we affirm we must "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

We celebrate the magnificence of this “centering” each Sunday at Living Spirit and we know we have a touchstone which cannot be shaken.

We are a heartbeat away from you, and Living Spirit is celebration with: Expression of spirit, orchestrated by Anna Gibson, Golden Child(ren) empowered by the Bennetts, a Healing Circle and Food and Fellowship after each service, a New and Used Bookstore, and YOU!
Our doors are open with love.

October-Series on New Thought Pioneers
Oct. 7 -From Swendenborg to Keller – “I am a Swedenborgian ... Its spirituality and idealism appeal to me. It also fosters all kinds of true freedom, places humanity above party, country, race, and it never loses sight of the essence of Jesus' gospel - the supreme and equal worth of each individual soul. That doctrine is the heart of Christianity.” Helen Keller How did this revolutionary mystic/scientist influence the New Thought movement.
