The Launching Pad is a Young Adult Spiritual Community, located in Berkeley, CA. At the Launching Pad young adults are living and working together, inspiring each other to live a life dedicated to creating the world that is spiritually evolved and sustainable for everyone. The Launching Pad opened its doors in January of this year and has since began hosting Friday Night services, offering classes and workshops, and is beginning to show up in a big way in the Bay Area and throughout the Science of Mind Community. Under the Spiritual Direction of Rev. Linda Reppond, individuals at the Launching Pad are deepening their understanding of Spirit and creating deep connected relationships with each other. This community is a Launching Pad for the forward movement and evolution of Religious Science. [Clockwise from top left: David, Elisha, Sabrina and Rev. Linda]

Rev.David Alexander is a life-long student of spiritual principles, having been born and raised in the New Thought tradition. Called to the ministry at age thirteen, Rev. David has made the study and application of universal spiritual principles his life devotion.

Rev. Dr. Jim Lockard
Chris Yamas is an enthusiastic and dynamic Youth and Young Adult leader and speaker in the New Thought movement. Since he walked through the doors of Center for Spiritual Living Philadelphia at the age of 11, he was hooked. After experiencing a radical physical and mental healing through use of treatment, while being empowered and unconditionally loved at teen camps and overnights, Chris knew that part of his mission in life would include a ministry that gives Youth the tools to live successfully, while grounded in Love.

Currently residing in Berkeley, CA at the Launching Pad Young Adult Ministry, Chris continues to plan teen events and to speak nationally and internationally. He manages Yamaste Outfitters (his spiritual clothing business), and attends college majoring in International Relations. Chris is thrilled to celebrate his 19th birthday by speaking at this year’s Rally!
Rev. Dr. Jim Lockard has served congregations in Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Westlake Village, and Simi Valley. In March of 2008 he received an honorary Doctorate of Religious Science. He serves on the Board of International Centers for Spiritual Living, as Director of the Department of Transformation and is on the Integration Team and the Integration Design Team. Prior to his entry into the ministry, he served as a law enforcement officer in Maryland and Dade County, Florida for 24 years. During that time, he authored the book SURVIVAL THINKING, which deals with the psychology of human performance as applied to public safety professionals. His newest book, SACRED THINKING: Awakening to Your Inner Power, is about integrating your spiritual practices with a fully-realized concept of God to create the life of your dreams.
Rev. Suzi Schadle is a gifted and sought after speaker and facilitator. Her workshops and classes are deeply transformative and her contagious sense of humor and enthusiasm inspire a positive and empowering environment. Rev. Suzi has been a Presenter at Interfaith and Spiritual Activism conferences here in the Pacific Northwest, as well as, at the Network of Spiritual Progressives Conference in Washington, DC. Spirit recently blessed Rev. Suzi with a new vision for her ministry: to transition Center for Spiritual Living Eastside into the infinite possibilities of cyberspace as Center for Spiritual Living eSide, creating a spiritual virtual village that opens minds, touches hearts, and transforms lives. Accessible to everyone, everywhere, anytime; it creates a spaciousness in which people can awaken to their passionate purpose.
