Our Programs and Events

 

The Christian Meditation Center offers Christian meditation training and weekly support sessions, retreats, Christian counseling, spiritual direction and book clubs throughout the year. We have designed our programs to heal the heart, soul and mind.  We believe what scripture tells us, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything will be given to you.” So we provide Trinity-centered instruction and practices that support our desire for a deeper and more intimate relationship with God.  Check out our calendar for dates and times!

Most of our programs are Pay What You Want.  We rely on your generosity to support our vision and mission.  Thank you!

If you have any questions or comments about any of our program offerings, please contact call or text at 856-404-5704 or email tyerkes@christianmeditationcenter.org.

Spiritual Direction

The spiritual director is a person who gives way to the Holy Spirit. For the relationship of direction is to be one in which the channels of grace are opened, and the Holy Spirit is able to move freely in the Christian person, drawing her to a closer union and a greater freedom as a child of God. ‘A spiritual director is then one who helps another to recognize and to follow the inspirations of grace in his life, in order to arrive at the end to which God is leading him.’ The director is ‘to assist in helping the person read the breathings of the Spirit.’ Jean Grou in the eighteenth century was very insistent that the disciple must look beyond the director to God and be prepared to give him up if God so required. Spiritual direction is therefore a means to an end. The end is God, whose service is perfect freedom. Kenneth Leech, excerpt from Soul Friend, Spiritual Direction in the Modern World

All of us come to a place in our lives when we are not sure where to go next or we feel stuck in our current circumstances. Sometimes it is helpful to share what is on our heart, soul, and mind with another person. We can begin to heal by having someone who will listen and to help bring clarity to what the Spirit might be inviting us to do next. We offer both individual and group spiritual direction. There is no set fee for this service. However, we do request you pray about donating to support the work we are doing.

Teresa brings nearly 40 years of her own personal discovery, along with highly specialized spiritual direction training from the Shalem Institute located in Washington DC.  She is also a Certified Lay Christian Counselor.

The Daily Word

We post scripture daily on our Facebook Group called The Daily Word.  The Daily Word group will read 10 – 15 verses of scripture daily. It only takes 2-3 minutes from your busy schedule and the benefits are well worth the time spent. We are reading the Bible chronologically.  Join us .

We offer a daily inspirational quote sent via email or text.  It is so important to keep our mind on uplifting messages as we go through our day.  There is no charge and your Soul Snack will arrive around 8 a.m. ET. Sign up!
