Where two or more are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. And if they agree, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven.  ~ Matthew 18 and 19 

Who Are They?

Elected at the Annual Membership meeting for two-year terms, the Board of Trustees consists of nine members who have met all the qualifications for serving in this capacity. The Minister is also a voting member of the Board.

What Are Their Guiding Principles?

The guiding principles of the Board of Trustees are FAITH, VISION, and INTEGRITY.  These principles are at the center of everything they do, every decision they make, and how they represent our Spiritual Center.  In addition to their fiduciary and fiscal responsibilities, their job is to support the Vision and Purpose of our Spiritual Center, the Minister, and to listen to the needs and concerns of the membership, and to act accordingly.

What Qualifies Them To Serve?

The God of integrity is the God of love.  God is love, means that God is in action; and God in action is law as well as love.  ~ Nona Brooks

The members of the Board are the leaders of the Church. Nominees are recommended by a selection committee (and voted on by the membership) based on their background and success in their own businesses; they’ve been active, loyal and supporting members of Center for Spiritual Living, Reno for at least one year; they faithfully tithe and participate in our annual stewardship campaign; they have successfully completed Foundations Class and continue taking classes and workshops; they participate in social activities and special events; and they attend Sunday services on a regular basis as a visible presence.

What’s Their Commitment?

Being on the Board of Trustees means being an excellent steward of the Church, taking responsibility, making sound decisions, thinking creatively, listening, engaging in consistent spiritual practice, being a peacemaker, and giving their time, talent and treasure. It’s a big commitment and one that is invaluable to the Trustee, as well as to the growth and well-being of the Church.

What Are Their Intentions?

The Law can bring us only as much good as we can mentally accept. This acceptance is an act of our own consciousness; it is an act of faith. ~ Ernest Holmes
  • To invite Spirit’s highest possibility for our Spiritual Community to be revealed through them, and to act with faith and integrity in the fulfillment of the Vision.
  • To communicate with each other and members of our Spiritual Community with openness, honesty and respect.
  • To be impeccable with their word, refraining from gossip, complaints, accusations and third party reporting.
  • To do what they say they will do, and doing it with love and excellence.
  • To engage members of our Spiritual Community at every opportunity, involving them and calling on their skills, creativity and willingness; by recognizing that in order to grow, people want to feel involved.
  • To serve as the Leadership of our Spiritual Community in their thoughts, words, actions and presence.
  • To be grateful for the privilege of serving in this way–individually and as a governing body.  This is sacred and holy work.
