Focus Ministry - the Spiritual Frontier

There is a shift in consciousness, awareness, and spiritual practice happening right now in the Western world. The trend is away from large congregations (except for the mega-churches, of course) and toward smaller, more personal communities. In addition, today’s technology has opened up a new venue for spiritual practice and spiritual community. This shift is also showing up in the approaches of newly minted, and sometimes newly shifted, ministers. Centers for Spiritual Living refers to these non-traditional ministers as Focus Ministers. Focus ministers are, by definition, unique. Each one approaches ministry from a perspective that has not been seen in the brick-and-mortar centers. Some examples are:


     • Music ministry     • Prison ministry      • Online education     • Yoga and Spirituality      • Retreat and teaching center     


These are just a few of the options, and the choices really are unlimited.  What they have in common is that each one takes the spiritual practice wherever it is needed, either physically, online, or both.


The table below shows all of the currently active New Thought Focus Ministries that have provided information to the Directory, sorted by state/country, with contact information and a direct email link for each.

Saying Goodbye A Return to Wholeness

Rev. Toni Cormier

5706 Cahalan Ave., #23397

Lathrop, CA

USA

408-622-5240


www.sayinggoodbye3.org


The primary goal of this ministry is to create a sacred space for individuals to examine their personal beliefs regarding death/dying and grief/loss. These all too often taboo topics are an inevitability for all of us, so why not gain knowledge and resources which will allow one to make informed decisions and/or transformation. This ministry also provides individual support that allows one to “say goodbye” to a loved one, relationship, or career. These events can have a direct correlation to the grief process. The grief process is like taking a trip but one does not know where they are going, who will be there to support them, how long it will take, or what they will need; however, along the journey one can discover the resiliency of the human spirit. Our mission is to empower, nurture and guide people through pivotal life transitions.

Spiritual Care Everywhere

Rev. John Odden

Newport Beach, CA

USA

[email protected]

Spiritual Care Everywhere is making it really simple for any patient in a health care setting to access spiritual care support. Our vision is to recognize requests for spiritual care from all religions, faiths, and cultural backgrounds. We seek to provide a "best match" for spiritual care requests from all sources, including volunteers, prayer ministries, practitioners, ministers and chaplains. Every health care setting should be able to offer access to spiritual care support to every interested patient.


The social and technical developments behind activating Spiritual Care Everywhere led us to unexpected insights on making simple human connection much easier. We are applying what we've learned to HealthEPupil, a program that brings immediate local professional support to students who encounter developmental or behavioral challenges in any school setting. Communities often have unseen strength and capacity to respond to human needs. We aim to facilitate creating many more timely and valuable connections.

Awakening Greatness

Rev. Dr. Moss Rick  

Key Biscayne, FL  

(831) 277-8242

[email protected] 

As Ernest Holmes wrote, we need to be "Open at the top." I believe that we also need to be open at the heart. God is not known through our limited mind which can not embrace the infinite. But our hearts can Love without boundaries.


The focus of my ministry is to help individuals and groups to find and release the mental and emotional blocks that keep us in fear, judgment and separation. By releasing these blocks, we can open to self-love which is the first step in opening more fully to love others. To do this, I use visualization and emotional release work.


I am guided in this by a strong sense of intuition.

Join me on a tour if you're looking to get away and have a priceless experience. I'll give any colleague a nice discount on a tour. You'll travel with New Thought folks because that is our market niche. 

Reach out to me if you'd love to travel with your community members and see the financial giving go up in your community. We'll work out an agreement that makes you smile SO BIG, too! I want to shower my colleagues with love in so many ways through this new ministry.

This will especially work if you have 75-100 active people in your community. I've recently started working with a Unity minister with about 100 active people in their community and they filled up all the spots in an upcoming tour in 2023 in 2 weeks. There are several people on the waiting list, too. I even have ideas where two smaller communities can come together so this can still easily work.

It is the blend of Rev. Karen's respect for all life, human and non-human, and devotion to Spirit. In addition to being a licensed Centers for Spiritual Living Minister Karen is a professional animal communicator and realized that her journey and evolution as a successful animal communicator has been directly reflected in the deepening of my connection with Spirit, leading to a more successful, meaningful life. With this revelation she is committed to helping others achieve the same success through connection with the animals.
