Meet Our Spiritual Leader

Reverend Sally Bartholomew lives her passion for reading, spiritual growth, and study by actively engaging in hands-on learning opportunities, both in the classroom and from the pulpit. Her creative approach ensures that what she shares sparks curiosity, joy, and empowerment. She believes the greatest power of the Science of Mind teaching lies in its emphasis on empowering individuals to recognize their Wholeness and their Oneness with God.
In 2008, a chance encounter with Louise Hay’s books and the Science of Mind magazine led Rev Sally to discover the Centers for Spiritual Living. She immediately felt at home. This pivotal moment ignited her journey of avid learning, which evolved into deeper Practitioner studies and service at the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living.
Ever the devoted student, Rev. Sally dove into classes that deepened her understanding and commitment, eventually leading her to ministry. She graduated from the Holmes Institute School of Spiritual Leadership at the Santa Rosa, CA campus with a master’s degree in consciousness studies. Licensed as a minister of Centers for Spiritual Living in January 2020, Rev Sally was ordained in September 2023, continuing her mission to inspire and empower others through her teachings.

Our Leadership Council here at CSLCS is responsible for upholding and carrying out the mission and purpose and articulating the vision and goals to the congregants it serves. They create Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAG) and three-to-five year goals–providing support and ensuring effective planning, ethical integrity, and financial security. Our Leaders make decisions for our community with selflessness, integrity, objectivity, honesty, and accountability–living out Science of Mind Principles.
