Spiritual Formation Resources
Are you Spiritual but not Religious?
Many persons profess to be Spiritual, but not Religious. There is a desire to be spiritual, but not to be part of organized religion.
This trend of being spiritual but not religious has been on the rise in recent years, especially among younger generations. Some people feel that organized religion is too rigid and does not align with their personal beliefs and values. Others may have had negative experiences with religion in the past. However, being spiritual does not necessarily mean that one has to completely reject organized religion.
There are many ways to cultivate spirituality without belonging to a specific religious institution. Some people find solace in nature and spend time outdoors to connect with a higher power. Others may practice meditation or mindfulness to achieve a sense of inner peace and clarity. Still, others may explore various spiritual practices from different religions to create their own personalized spiritual path.
It's important to remember that spirituality is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. The key is to stay open-minded and continue exploring different avenues until one finds what resonates with them.

Through practice and action, our mission is to be a wellspring of life in the community. As diverse participants come together for personal spiritual practice, discernment, and community gatherings, a collective movement towards peace and justice emerges. As this movement takes shape, like living water, compassionate responses will flow and give life beyond the walls of offerings at the Center.
Offerings of the Center are sponsored by Community of Christ at its Worldwide Headquarters in Independence, MO, a space dedicated to peace, and intentionally designed to be welcoming to all people. The Community of Christ Temple campus is home to an inclusive sanctuary, rooms for meditation and practice, diverse international displays of art, and a rooftop community labyrinth.

All Things Are Spiritual

“Being spiritually formed is foundational to obtaining a clear and compelling vision of mission. A compelling sense of mission springs from the overflow of deep communion with the Spirit.” Steve Veazey
Exploring the daily implications of a spiritual life.
We are spiritual and physical beings living in a complex web of life, interconnected with one another and all creation. |
The spiritual journey is deeply personal and at the same time takes us on life-changing journeys outside ourselves. It is about being and doing, contemplation and action, becoming and living.
YOU are welcome here. Let’s make the world a better place from the inside out together.
A Community of Christ Ministry.
