Our spiritual community is founded on a New Thought philosophy to help each of us lead a spiritual life, think positively, and love deeply. We incorporate scientific affirmative prayer, meditation, healing, life visioning, experiential learning and other spiritual tools to experience our awareness of the in-dwelling Spirit.
We teach that there is only One Power - the power of Love, which is the power of God.
- That there is an all-powerful Creative Law that responds to our thinking. “It is done unto you as you believe”.
- That Spirit is the Source of ever flowing, unlimited good. Its nature is to give, but through the spiritual Law of Attraction it gives only as much as we are open to receiving.
- That there is a thread of Spiritual Truth that weaves through the world’s Faith traditions. Among these threads we understand that the Oneness of God is found in Its creation and that the power of Love heals.
- That this is a “science” since it is based on spiritual principles as impersonal as gravity and electricity and - aware or not, we are using them constantly.

Spiritual Counseling & Practical Prayer sessions with Rev. Bill
Our beliefs create our experience of life. When we are dissatisfied with any aspect of life - be it...
- health and vitality
- prosperity and enough-ness
- love and connection
- the way we share our gifts with the world
- or something else...
there is very likely a belief at work that is hidden below our conscious awareness.
Rev. Bill works with you one-on-one to discover those hidden beliefs and replace them with ones that will tend to bring more of the Good you seek into your life.
Each session includes a personal Practical Prayer to activate the Truth of who you are as individualized expressions of Spirit. Through practice of this scientific form of prayer, we enter an energetic vibration that anchors our awareness in our essential perfection and oneness with the I Am Presence of the Self, and invite a new experience of Life.
Three, six, and twelve-session packages include free follow-up via email or text between sessions. Unused sessions expire after 18 months.
All session will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, via Zoom, phone or in-person.
