Althea’s fundamental philosophy is Oneness. We believe that "God is All" and everyone is a unique expression of the All. With love in our hearts, we accept, respect, and embrace each and every member of our eclectic community. Being a member means that we accept this philosophy and that we wish to be more involved in supporting our spiritual home. We give our energy to that which supports us! Members consistently give back to the center in multiple ways. Volunteering, monetary donations (so that we can keep the doors of love and Oneness open for future generations and pay our bills), and sharing our talents are just a few ways members keep our community thriving. Also, we are there for each other by acknowledging the Divine in one another always. The more involved we are with our community the more we feel ownership. Being a member means we are invested in taking care of and preserving our spiritual home; after all, it is ours! All are welcome -- see you on Sunday for a celebratory ceremony of Althea's newest community! Interested in becoming a member? Fill out this New Member Interest Form Ceremonial Speaker, Rev.
