Lakeside Temple of Practical Christianity

Specialties

Lakeside Temple of Practical Christianity is based on the teachings of applied Christian metaphysics. In other words, we study the teachings of Jesus Christ and then we apply these lessons in our daily living experiences. Jesus Christ is the Head of Lakeside Temple.

God is love.

Through prayer and meditation, we come to realize how to live more freely, fully, and peacefully. We understand we are intended to be happy and prosperous on this spiritual journey of living on the earth. We may make mistakes, yet as we know better, we do better. Jesus proved for us that Life is good and Life never ends.

We teach individual responsibility for our own spiritual growth. We offer classes and literature which help guide and direct us in our pursuit of spiritual understanding.

We believe our own thoughts help to shape and form our outer circumstances. As Jesus said, «Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, so shall it be.»

Meet the Manager

Jennifer L.

Manager

Jennifer was born and grew up in Rossland, British Columbia, the second of four children — and the only daughter. Surrounded by forests and beautiful mountains, God was most evident to her in the beauty of the earth.

She attended Selkirk College, and the University of British Columbia, where she graduated with a Bachelors degree in Chemistry. She then went to MIT, where she met Dan Cox. They married in 1975, and she received a Doctorate in Chemistry in 1976.

They moved to the East Bay where she worked for Chevron for 16 years, leaving when their youngest child was a year old. They are the parents of three children.

She says, «In 1988, we sought to renew ourselves spiritually. We came to the Temple in that year and have stayed ever since. I deeply appreciate the teaching and examples of spiritual living here.»

Having completed all the requirements for ordination as a minister, Jennifer was ordained in 2000. She says, «Learning that we are unlimited spiritual beings brings joy!»
