Who we are:
The UCPL is a non-denominational, all-inclusive Religious Science Church, Teaching and Peace Center that believes each individual is a magnificent, spiritual being. The foundation of our teachings is an understanding that all of us are created in the image and likeness of God and that our thoughts are powerfully creative. Religious Science is a philosophy of spiritual education and enlightenment that we practice religiously. Join us as we come together in a loving community to awaken, recognize, support and live the spiritual magnificence that we are!
Our Mission:
The mission of The UCPL is to build a loving, spiritual community that supports:
- Every individual’s spiritual evolution.
- The Teachings of the Science of Mind.
- The expression of unconditional Love and Divine Wisdom through the Pastors, our Ministries, our Members and our involvement in the Community.
Our Objectives:
What We Believe:
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 God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God. We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit. We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. We believe that Heaven is within us and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it. We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature and that this goal is sure to be attained by all. 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 who lives in close contact with the indwelling God may become a revealer of Truth. We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through 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 it 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. We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.
