• We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and self-existent Cause. This One manifests itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

​

• We believe in the incarnation of Spirit in every person and that all people are incarnations of this One Spirit.

​

​

• We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.

​

• We believe that God is personal to all who feel this Indwelling Presence.

​

• We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.

​

• We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind, which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.

​

•  We believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind.

​

•  We believe in the control of conditions through the power of this Mind.

​

•  We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.
