Rev. CC Coltrain
Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Celebration of Life Church! We are a spiritual community dedicated to spiritual transformation. We celebrate the Oneness of all life, and our community is inclusive and honors all faith traditions. As an affiliate of United Church of Religious Science, we practice and teach the philosophy of Science of Mind, founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes. Please click on “About the Church” from the menu at left to read more about Science of Mind.

Celebration of Life Church has been located in the Miami Valley for almost 60 years, and serves the community through various outreach programs, including the Season for Nonviolence and the Dayton Dialogue on Race Relations. We CELEBRATE LIFE and each other with joyful, dynamic Sunday services, social gatherings, classes, and through community service.

I believe Life is a gift to be celebrated – there is so much to celebrate! Dr. Ernest Holmes taught that the point of Science of Mind was to provide tools with which we can change our lives for the better. In our Sunday services, each person receives an idea, a tool, that he or she can use in everyday life. At the same time, we teach spiritual practices to deepen understanding of Universal Principles.

Our church provides many opportunities for spiritual transformation. We regularly teach classes on the principles of Science of Mind, as well as workshops and short courses on meditation, relationship issues, prosperity, and other topics, including recent books such as The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Click on “Events Calendar” to see what is coming up!

Our ministries include Friends of Animals, Compassionate Care, and Ministry of Prayer. Our licensed Practitioners provide prayer and spiritual support to congregants and visitors. Please feel free to call our prayer line at any time to leave a prayer request. Click on “Ministries” to learn more.

We also invite you to visit our bookstore, Angel’s Attic. Angel’s Attic is one of the area’s largest metaphysical bookstores and offers books, CD’s, jewelry, and gifts. Additionally, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Celebration of Life Church or Science of Mind.

Please join us as we expand and evolve into an ever greater expression of Love, Joy, and Celebration!

Love, Light, and Blessings,

Rev. CC Coltrain

Our Sunday Services are at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. The sermon for each service is roughly the same, but the energy of each service is quite different. The early service is more internal and meditative. The second service has live music and lots of energy. Please wear whatever you'd like. The attire ranges from jeans and shorts to suits and dresses, so wear whatever makes you comfortable. We welcome all who wish to celebrate life with us!
