• Our Ministers •

At The Center of Light, we offer community members and students the opportunity to train under the direction of true Priests and Master Teachers. Our intention is to bring the seeker into a deep and personal experience of the presence of God within. The ministers who teach in each of our Centers of Light are ordained under the Order of Christ-Sophia. This body of ministers includes Master Teachers, Priests, Deacons, and Life-Vowed Brothers and Sisters.

• Master Teachers •

Master Teachers are ordained Priests who have reached a level of consciousness and participation with Master Jesus and Mother Mary where they are responsible for training and guiding Priests and Deacons. They embody the qualities of light, life, and love through their obedience to God and their dedication to bringing healing and Illumination to human beings. They hold in their hands the keys to the Dominion of God.

• Priests •

A Priest is a living mediator between God and human beings. His or her life is dedicated to truth, light, and blessing. A Priest brings the reality of Heaven into earth. Thus, his or her every action represents grace manifesting on earth. Priests are responsible for bringing Souls to Christ and for bringing Souls into the Light of Christ, if they so desire. They administer the seven Sacraments, including the freely given, daily Sacrament of Communion.

• Deacons •

Our Deacons are ministers that assist the Priests in the performance of the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion as well as other spiritual functions. They attend the altar and help with various administrative and spiritual duties in support of the members of our spiritual community. Some Deacons can teach classes and sit in on spiritual counseling sessions. A Deacon has to have received the initiation of Illumination before being ordained and may in time come to train for the Priesthood.
