We are not your typical church!
“This is the Church of Keeping It Real”
Center for Spiritual Living Grand Junction is a diverse, radically inclusive, not-your-usual church. We provide a great place for “the rest of us” who are looking to connect with God/Higher Power/Universal Presence, but don’t really fit in with any one religion. Though we celebrate age-old spiritual traditions from around the world, our message and delivery are modern and down to Earth. So relax, have fun, and look around – chances are you’ll see people just like you.

Welcome to CSLGJ
Center for Spiritual Living Grand Junction is a spiritual community that honors all paths to God and can help you experience 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 help bring peace and harmony to the world.
If you are in search of a spiritual community where you are respected and accepted for who you are and want the inspiration and support to grow to your highest potential, please accept our invitation to visit us soon!
Our people are amazing!
“The first Sunday that my wife and I walked through the front door of CSLGJ, we felt the love wash over us. By the end of the Sunday service, we knew we had our found our tribe. We were home!”
Reactions like that are common. We really do love each other and are not shy about showing it. Whether it be learning in one of our many classes, enjoying a house concert by a popular musician, sharing meals and fun activities, serving dinner at the homeless shelter, picking up trash on Horizon Drive, or conducting the administrative work of the Center, we genuinely like to be with each other.
We would love for you to join us!

What we believe
“Based in Golden, Colorado, Centers for Spiritual Living™ is a global community comprised of more than 400 spiritual communities, teaching chapters, study groups and other ministries in 30 countries.
These communities teach a New Thought philosophy that brings religion and science together and offers spiritual tools to transform personal lives and help make the world a better place. This is done through the study and practice of Science of Mind® and Spirit, also known as Religious Science®, which holds that all life is sacred—that each human being is an expression of God.” (from CSL.org — click to learn more about CSL.)
Centers for Spiritual Living has a sister organization, Science of Mind Foundation, which publishes the very popular monthly magazine, Science of Mind. (Click on that link to learn more, including how to subscribe.)

5. Selfless Service/Sacred Service (Seva) (volunteering, contributing time, contributing skill)
What exactly is Science of Mind and Spirit?
The Science of Mind and Spirit is a compilation of the great thoughts of the ages, the deep mystical yearnings of minds in search of God, and the modern approach to a faith that can be demonstrated. In its practice and teachings, Science of Mind and Spirit endeavors to include the whole life. It is a way of life focused on joy, free from fear, and justified by results. Science of Mind and Spirit offers the world what it has been waiting for – a faith where fear and superstition have been removed and universal spiritual principles are presented in plain, simple, and direct ways, so that we may each learn to live now, in the present, with the knowledge and trust that the Universe is for us and not against us.
Science of Mind and Spirit is part of the “New Thought” spiritual tradition, a positive, practical spirituality. Science of Mind and Spirit is drawn from the revelations of both Western and Eastern religion, the opinions of philosophy, the laws of science, and the practices of psychology as applied to human needs and the aspirations of humanity.
