"The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real estate, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith."
~ Bertrand Russell |

 A "small group" is a coming together of "like-minded" people meeting on a regular basis for the purpose of sharing a common interest and growing together as a spiritual community. Joining a small group provides you with the opportunity to build relationships with other members and friends of OneSpirit that have similar interests.
Most groups meet monthly unless a specific curriculum is studied, and then they may meet on a weekly basis for a defined period of time.
Each small group has a trained facilitator who works in conjunction with the Church leadership. The leader assures that the group maintains the focus for which the group is intended, using the Science of Mind Principles as the guideline.
Choose the small group, or groups that best fit your needs and call the Leader of the group or the OneSpirit Office at (805) 527-0870 for information regarding the next meeting.
