Center For Spiritual Living Newport Mesa

The Center is a great place for a meaningful message, magical music and fantastic fellowship. Bless it Be!

I love the Center for Spiritual Living Newport Mesa! It is a spiritual community that welcomes everyone with open arms and hearts. Dr. Jim’s message inspires us all to live our dreams and understand life from a prospective that is positive and deeply meaningful. This church has changed my life! The music is off the charts great! Famous speakers, authors and entertainers have attracted large crowds, great classes are offered and there is a thriving youth program.
I have often heard that this place feels like home; it has certainly become mine.

New to the area I was looking for something I thought almost impossible, a church with no specific religion, or one that embraces all of them, and had a youth group for my boys, where they can experience a great community. All of that I found in the CSL Newport Mesa.
What a blessing! We all can’t wait for Sunday to come along. What I love most is the tolerance and openness toward all and everybody, the live band and musical performers, the fun atmosphere, the incredible dedication of the youth leaders and youth Rev. Janet, and the many volunteers that allow this community to thrive. At the core of it all is the weekly message by Dr. Jim Turrell, a fantastic speaker and thinker. It is a true privilege and gift to listen to his words. No matter what, I always leave light hearted, empowered, optimistic, and ready to tackle the week. I love CSL!

I was first exposed to the Science of Mind teaching over 10 years ago and intermittently went to church services on Sundays at various locations. But it’s been over the last couple years that I really feel part of the community here at the Center Newport Mesa, due in large part to Dr. Jim. Love that man — his teachings, his humor, his vulnerability, his dedication, his light! And his wife Patty is simply amazing with all she does and is for our Center. The ultimate power couple with purpose and hearts as big as one can imagine. The message, the energy, the music, and the love, received each Sunday, is incredibly uplifting and moving. It’s been so fun to be back in classes as well. Participating in classes help me delve deeper into the conversation, socially interact with other members during the week, share life’s ups and downs, and learn how to live life more fully, more joyfully, and more on purpose — all with the support and love of other like-​minded people. It’s a gift and I am so very grateful for it all, including our upcoming trip to Bali in September! Blessings galore!

I started coming to services in January of last year and can confidently say finding the Center is one of the best things I’ve done in my life. Not only are the Sunday Services a boost to the soul, the Center also offers workshops and classes and sponsors speaking engagements for the likes of Deepak Chopra and James Van Prague.
I didn’t know anyone when I relocated to Orange County, now I have friends to socialize with who have the same spiritual value systems as I do. This has been a major blessing in my life. My consciousness has flowered. My spiritual practices have taken on greater depth and meaning. I now have much greater understanding of how spiritual laws like the law of attraction work and am consciously manifesting abundance and love in my life. If you want to see what a Sunday Service is like go to
and search for Dr. Jim Turrell. He is a brilliant, brilliant man and so inspirational.
The Center doesn’t own it’s own facility but leases out the University Synagogue every Sunday there are two services; the first at 9:30 AM and the second at 11:15.

A fun loving spiritual community that has so much to offer. Dr. Jim services are engaging and transformative. The practitioners are really there for you. Every event is filled with music, socializing, personal growth and fun. I’ve watched my 13 year old son just blossom in the teen group. He LOVES winter and summer camp. So much goodness all in one place. :)

This is a fantastic way to spend your Sunday. Great music, with an uplifting message. Reverend Terrell is the best public speaker I have ever witnessed. He drives home a message week after week that feels as if it were tailor made for me. This church is about the power of positive thinking and aligning with God to live the best life possible. The messages are usually centered around finding your creativity and purpose. It’s very motivating. My children love the youth church and I love hearing them share with me that the are perfect expressions of God.
