The Inner Light Center symbol is an eight pointed crystalline star. It announces the New Age of Spirit, raises energy into the next Octave of Light, and holds the pure light frequency of Love, Light, Harmony and Peace that it radiates out to all.
The upright cross represents the Tree with roots firmly planted in the earth, upper branches reaching to the Divine Source, and side branches reaching out with the power of loving kindness.
The X cross represents the Divine Marriage of Love and Wisdom, and celebrates unity.
The heart of the star represents the birth of the Divine Inner Light in every heart. The three circles represent the radiant power, and protective field of Light.

We are
excited to inform you all about the new children's church.
With the help and energy of those involved we were able to create room to
have the children in different age appropriate groups. Our vision for the
children to have their own special space with nurturing teachers to guide
and support their spiritual growth has been manifested.
Inner Light Kidz 3-7 years
Inner Light Tweens 8-12 years
Teen Light Night 13-17+years (Begins May 3rd)
This transition will begin March 18th
We are
so grateful for all the beautiful changes and
growth happening with the Children's Church.
Thank you to all involved!
Any questions or to volunteer

The year
2008
Awakening - A Birth of Unity This is a year of unified joyous vision and owning the knowledge that we are all instruments for Spirit, this year of Twenty – Eight – Ten – One vibration endows us with great personal and collective power. It is imperative that we stand as one birthing our highest ideals and manifesting them in the world. It is a time of strength and compassion toward oneself and all others embracing the courage of our convictions, and the courage to be true to Self. Through unified alignment we invite balance and integration, a coming together with all that is, and being in the flow through harmonic resonance. Click
