We are a Center for Spiritual Growth in south central Indiana providing a loving, supportive, accepting environment for individuals and families to learn and practice the spiritual principles taught and demonstrated by our way-shower Jesus, who demonstrated the Divinity that dwells within us all. We believe that we are not separate from God, and that we are spiritual beings leading a physical existence. Love is the core of our being, and we are called to be the Light in the world by living our Truth and Principles.
