A new kind of Spiritual Center...

Do you consider yourself spiritual, but not religious?  Are looking for something beyond a traditional religious experience?  Do you have commitments that keep you busy on the weekends?  Do you feel alienated from the church? Are you seeking spiritual grounding? 

We are a non-denominational Christian community. This ministry serves to inspire you to live your best life.  For some, this may mean taking appropriate steps to do difficult things such as transition into or out of a career or relationship. It may mean forgiving another.  It might mean taking a chance. It will definitely mean following your heart; for where your heart is, so too is your treasure. "All things are possible with God." (Matt 19:26)

FAQ about www.AllThingsArePossible.org and worship/workshop inspirational gatherings:
 
Is it a church?  Yes (and no).  It is a ministry.  Legally it's a church, but the first thing you'll notice is that we're not in a church building.  We often meet at Open Doors Learning and Healing Center.  The minister wears street clothes, though you can expect a robe, stole, or clerics for special occasions.  All Things Are Possible is a New Thought Christian Spiritual Center.  It's a place where people can explore religion and spirituality outside of a church building.  The services and talks are grounded in Christianity, but you'll often hear the words God/Spirit of Love and Life/Divine/Universe used interchangeably.  It's been called a 'church for people who don't go to church' (though those who do want to supplement their regular church experience are always welcome)!

Do you have a minister? Yes.  She earned a Master of Divinity (with honors) from Andover Newton Theological School, the oldest graduate seminary in America.  Rev. Margarones was ordained by the Church of Truth, a church founded in 1922 in Pasadena California (and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places).

Is this website the ministry?  Yes (part of it).  The ministry extends beyond the pages of this site to in-person meetings and community involvement. Use the pages of this site as you feel moved. You'll find written and audio version of talks (sermons/homilies), meditations, and prayers.  (Video versions to come!)  Submit prayer requests through the contact us page.   

What can I expect from the worship service and workshop experience?  The first thing you'll notice is that the feeling in the room is more like that of a workshop or a book discussion than a church service.  The room is peaceful and serene and we often sit in a circle. A typical worship service often includes opening words, prayer, guided meditation, and a five to ten minute talk.  The workshop draws upon the theme of the service and usually includes opportunities for self-reflection and group sharing.  You are welcome to participate as you are comfortable doing so and there is never any pressure to speak.  There is no fee to attend and love offerings for the work of this ministry, and the work of this ministry in the wider world, are always received very gratefully.    

What if I'm not Christian? All are welcome here. God transcends all religious boundaries. Worship is inclusive and the focus is on 'practical religion', with themes found in the Hebrew Bible, Christian Bible, and numerous other sacred sources.
