About us
Forty-five years, and a good deal of moving.
We are a Spiritual Community affiliated with Centers for Spiritual Living worldwide. We believe that life is lived from the inside out: Consciousness precedes form.
Our History
Sacramento CSL has a long and winding history over the past 45 years. We began in the early 1980s as the Orangevale Church of Religious Science under Rev. Lori Lee. Over the decades we relocated several times and changed affiliations, before rejoining Centers for Spiritual Living in 2015. Today we gather in the Sacramento region and continue to grow.

The answer to prayer is in the prayer when it is prayed — the belief of the one praying sets in motion the Law of Love, which is the fundamental Law of the Universe.
A world that works for everyone starts with this one.
Your giving keeps this community alive — the Sunday celebration, the practitioner prayer team, the classes, and the outreach that carries our principles into Sacramento.
