In a world that often feels hurried and divided, Circle of Peace offers a quiet and faithful way to remain rooted in God’s presence.
Circle of Peace is a community of prayerful hearts committed to holding individuals, families, communities, and the world in prayer. Rather than gathering frequently at a fixed time, we are united through a shared rhythm of prayer—each person lifting requests from wherever they are, trusting that God meets us in that sacred connection.
Sometimes the most meaningful spiritual growth happens in the presence of a trusted companion.
Our One-on-One Christian Coaching sessions offer a quiet, grace-filled space to explore your spiritual life, deepen your relationship with God, and gently work through the places where healing or clarity may be needed.
You will meet with Teresa Yerkes, founder of the Christian Meditation Center, a Christian meditation teacher, certified lay counselor, and spiritual companion who has spent nearly four decades walking with others on their spiritual journey.
Together, you will create space to listen for God’s presence in your life.
Engaging in meditation within a community adds a special touch to your practice. Imagine this: finding a cozy spot in the warmth of your home, joined by fellow Christians, all united in the common journey toward a closer relationship with God. Our sessions are designed to offer the encouragement necessary for transitioning from occasional meditation to a consistent and meaningful lifestyle practice. Together, we unite on a shared pursuit of peace and transformation.
Our weekly A Course in Miracles study groups explore the Course through the lens of Jesus Christ and the witness of Scripture. Together, we thoughtfully discuss its teachings while allowing the Bible to remain our primary authority and the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding.
Tuesday Evenings
7:30 – 8:30 p.m. ET
Wednesday Evenings
7:00 – 8:00 p.m. ET
Both groups meet weekly on Zoom, and you are welcome to attend whichever evening works best for your schedule.
Silent Retreat Weekend
Join us for a peaceful Silent Retreat Weekend in Greeley, PA, August 7–9, 2026. Beginning Friday at 2 p.m. and ending Sunday at 11 a.m., this retreat offers a gentle rhythm of community and solitude, with a full day of sacred silence on Saturday. Guided by Teresa Yerkes, Spiritual Director, and Leah Chrest, Christian Meditation Teacher, you’ll be invited to rest in God’s presence through meditation, prayer, and quiet reflection. Step away from the noise and return renewed, grounded, and at peace.
• Do you struggle with distractions during prayer?
• Do you long for greater peace and calm in your life?
• Are you curious about the historic Christian practice of meditation?
If so, this training may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Many Christians know how to pray, but few have learned how to be still long enough to listen.
Christian meditation is the practice of resting in the presence of God—quieting the mind, opening the heart, and allowing God to do His work within us.
In this 90-minute seminar, you will learn how meditation can deepen your relationship with God while bringing greater spiritual awareness, emotional balance, and interior peace into your daily life.
