About Us - Leadership & Staff

The leadership of our center that includes licensed Professional Practitioners and Ministers of New Thought Religious Science, also includes a Board of Regents, Board of Trustees, and Staff that are comprised of deeply committed and enthusiastic professionals who are dedicated to Joyful Gathering’s mission of furthering the spiritual development of each and every person in our community.

Joyful Gathering Spiritual Center is a non-denominational spiritual community rooted in New Thought Religious Science, based in Science of Mind teachings, a spiritual philosophy founded by Ernest Holmes in the form of Universal Truths arising from science, philosophy, and religion. Our Center encourages and supports people as they deepen into their personal spirituality. We hold Sunday Celebration Services, spiritual classes based on New Thought/Ancient Wisdom and Science of Mind, healing workshops and exciting events to uplift energy and download Divine Love into lives. Our intention is to establish a warm, embracing community and ignite the God Spark in everyone's soul.
