Ministers, Staff and Board of Trustees
Our youth program provides an atmosphere of love and trust where children are empowered to fulfill their inherent potential.
At CSLSJ, our youth are not just a program, they are the future. In our youth program, located in our “Youth Wing,” your child(ren) will enjoy curriculum specially designed to fit his or her age and needs. For infants and toddlers, we have a staffed nursery available during both services.
For more information, visit our Youth & Family Page or contact Youth & Family Coordinator, Jennifer Bick: YouthandFamily[at]cslsj.org or 408-221-6236.
Prayer Circle
At Centers for Spiritual Living, we practice a form of affirmative prayer called “Spiritual Mind Treatment.” Affirmative Prayer, is a practical tool that aligns our thoughts with all-good. Affirmative Prayer is a powerful process that shifts our consciousness so that we are open and available to accept the good that is already present in our life.
Affirmative Prayer
Affirmative Prayer declares a spiritual Truth. It is a recognition of Spirit’s Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence, and a realization of humanity’s unity with Spirit. Affirmative Prayer is a powerful method for setting the Creative Process into motion. It is a direct, focused, and organized method using five steps to your desired outcome:
1. Recognition (God Is All There Is)
2. Unification (I Am One with God)
3. Realization (Speaking Your Desired Good)
4. Thanksgiving (Grateful Acceptance) and
5. Release (Let Go, Let God)

Compassionate Care
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all spiritual, ethical, and religious traditions, calling us to treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work to alleviate the suffering of all creatures, to honor the sanctity of human beings by treating everyone, without exception with equity and respect.
At the Center for Spiritual Living, we practice compassion in action providing you with prayer, support, and connection during health-related times of need. Together, we make a difference.
