What We Believe

There is only one Power in the Universe, known by many names in every culture.
It is the same power that creates all from Itself; It is infinite, omnicient, everywhere present; birthless, deathless, eternal; It is Transcendent Being, Absolute, and utterly unfathomable Love.
The Infinite being One, reveals Itself in the diversity of Its creation.
We are all children of the Infinite, and as such, inherit the power of creation and are responsible for creating our own lives.
Health and well-being are also part of our Divine Inheritance and can be restored, if missing, through the power of Divine Mind.
Grace and blessing are with us always; there is no "sin" but just "mistakes." We all make mistakes, and learn from them.
The Infinite, being intelligent, we call God or Mind. "Infinite Love rules through Law; Law makes the Way possible."
"To learn how to think, is to learn how to live."
