Welcome to the Center for Spiritual Living - Redding

Welcome Home!

Center for Spiritual Living - Redding provides spiritual tools to transform our personal lives and help make the world a better place.

Center for Spiritual Living is a spiritual community and way of life that honors all paths to God and helps people to discover a personal relationship with God. When God is the focus of our spirituality, then other areas of our lives fall into place—we are happier, we can do more for others, be better stewards of the Earth, and bring peace and harmony to the world.

We extend a warm welcome to all people in search of a spiritual community where they are embraced, respected, and accepted for who they are and inspired and supported to grow to their highest potential.

No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Are you feeling alone, lost, empty or disconnected? Are you in crisis? Are you lacking fulfillment, looking for answers, healing, and a spiritual home?

At Center for Spiritual Living, you will belong to a like-minded community, a spiritual home, where you can discoverpeace of mind, healing, and inspiration, and live with a personal relationship with God. We look forward to meeting you in person! »

Ministers' Message

Create a Personal Delcaration
of Freedom

Some say freedom is living in a democracy. Others say being able to believe whatever you choose to believe is freedom. Still others say freedom is having money, health, and satisfying relationships. While all this is true, many people cannot enjoy freedom because they are enveloped by fear. You may not think you are afraid; you may just feel worried or anxious. Anxiety is an ongoing, low-grade level of fear. You may feel your energy being zapped by all the bad news. You may feel down or sad for no particular reason. You may have a drink or two or three just to feel good. These can all be symptoms of anxiety. It is like a mild headache you have learned to live with. When we realize we are being run by many little fears we can choose to look at this condition, change our mind about how we will be in it, and reclaim the necessary courage to live our lives instead of having our lives seem to live us.

The unspoken fear of not being liked or loved can easily exhaust us. To truly know that we are loved by the Source of our creation means we are inherently lovable. Ignorance of this contributes to our suffering and can keep us in fear of loss, emptiness, and rejection. I believe the greatest freedom we can experience is living without fear. When we do so we experience love. We are here to share and experience love. This is our gift from the Divine.

No matter how afraid you have ever been you survived. If you don’t live in the past you won’t have to pay the mental cost of keeping the past alive in your head. The future cannot and will not kill you. No matter how bleak the future seems, it pales when compared to the power, light, and love of the present. Keep centered in your mind. Know that the power of living in the now is all the power you will ever need. Too many of us suffer from a past we made up and die a thousand deaths for a future that never happens.

This 4th of July declare yourself free of fear. Place into thought your declaration of freedom. Enjoy a freedom filled, abundant, love-filled Independence Day.

Revs. Bob Luckin & Judith Churchman
