Please join us and be counted among the world's Positive People! The               Love Church   About Us... Very few people were born into New Thought churches, relatively speaking. Most grew into our way of being, our way of living spiritually. Many are refugees from other churches. Some were reared in "everything you do is a sin" sorts of churches and they were confused by what they perceived as an angry, smiting, dangerous God of the Old Testamant compared to the postive, creative, love-based teachings of Christ in the New Testament.

Christ said it all: "I am the vine; you are the branches." -- John 15:5 We come from all walks of life, and are of all ages. We are drawn together by our need for life-long learning and discovery and awareness of our inexorable part in God's Being. Most of us come from a Christian background and, yes, we do
