The Kin-dom of heaven is within you
Christ the Healer is a Christ-Centered Community, dedicated to the practice and application of ancient wisdom, practical knowledge, and the latest in scientific breakthroughs for total health of heart, body, and mind, and soul integration.
We believe in continual spiritual and personal growth to become the best versions of ourselves, and in so doing, we will effectively serve one another, and God. We do this through practices that foster real transformation, a path to wholeness.
Christ’s life was a demonstration for how we transform our own lives, and break free from perpetuating suffering. At CtH, we agree to love one another unconditionally first, as Christ loves us, then we seek to understand each other. We support each other to embody grace in the fullness of Christ as he intended.
In the beginning – The “Template” of Christ the Healer
Over 30 years ago, the founders of CtH UCC, Pastor Gabrielle and Thomas Chavez, and a small group of friends, envisioned a new kind of “church”. They all realized it was time for an upgrade. They all sat around a circle in a sanctuary with what appeared as the Celtic cross – A wheel with a cross inside. The group agreed “Let’s stop saying what Christ the Healer should be — let’s be Christ the Healer!”
Inside the circle, each person added words to this mandala:
(Words are not listed in any particular order, but words in bold are emphasized)
Energetic, multi-cultural, prayer, angelic, participatory, positive, eating, meditation, technological, listening, warmth, honest, nature, experiential, mystical, community building, accepting, sharing, inspired, children’s program, arts-concerts-poetry-dance, worshiping, positive attitude, spiritual exploration, worshiping, doing, Christ the Healer, being, teaching, greathearted, non-hierarchical, supporting talents, learning–world religion, Bible study, small groups, God is love, passionate, inclusive, inviting, point holding (body electronics), love others as self, love self to love others, welcoming, spiritual service, freedom, Rock (one in Christ) judge not, way-of Christ=way of love, “that they all may be one”.
Together, we are creating the kin-dom of heaven, on earth.
Together, we are becoming who we have always known we are meant to be.
Grow in ways you never imagined
Our practices, information, and support show you how to grow yourself in ways you may never have believed possible.
How would you like to turn peak experiences into everyday states of being to include:
- Embodied acceptance of every experience
- Embodied presence with what absolutely is
- Embodied gratitude for the world you find yourself in
- Embodied joy through the everyday experiences
- Embodied love with all that is
- Embodied inspiration to make the most of every situation
- Embodied awe in the face of yourself and every other presence that you encounter
- Embodied peace with it all!
These are what we call the ‘Grace Practices’, as learned through the Compass Way. We seek to love each other first, unconditionally, then we seek to understand one another.
Are you ready to be this kind of human being?
At CtHUCC, we take the life teachings and examples of Christ seriously and follow as closely as possible in the footsteps of this Premiere Pioneer and Perfector of our Human Endeavor.
