"Has my life been transformed by being a member of SLC?"
-
"Am I ready for a deeper commitment to my own spiritual growth?"
-
"Am I willing to learn more and to commit to being a high conscious Board member?"
-
"Am I willing to give of my time and talents to learn more about and support SLC's integral ministry practice and mission to Transform Lives as we Love, Serve, and Remember?"
