We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and self-existent Cause.

We believe that God manifests Himself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by His 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 the Spirit in man and that all men are incarnations of the One Spirit.

We believe in the eternality, the immortality and the continuity of the individual soul, forever expanding.

We believe that the kingdom of heaven is within and that our purpose is to realize the kingdom on earth by removing the blocks to our awareness and experience of Love’s presence.

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

We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of man, and that any man 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 Universal Mind, the Law of God.  We are surrounded by this Creative Mind, which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.

We believe that our natural state is perfect health: mentally, physically and spiritually.

We believe in the unity of life, eternal goodness, the eternal loving kindness and the eternal givingness of life to all.

PRAYER OF SAINT FRANCES OF ASSISI

(Adapted by Rev. Eddy Crouch)

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is sadness, joy.

Where there is darkness, light.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek

To be understood, as to understand.

To be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that I receive.

It is in forgiving that I am forgiven.

It is in dying to my self-defeating thoughts

That I am born to eternal life.
