Member Assistance Program

A one-time financial assistance service

Hi!

We are here to assist your experience of Abundance. In doing so we pray that your conscious awareness of it is enhanced. Please carefully read the following information so that you are clear about the process and procedures offered by CSL Tacoma. The Member Assistance Committee is comprised of a Board of Trustee member, Spiritual Coach, and lay church member.

In order to be eligible for financial assistance, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  1. You must be a contributing (financially and/or volunteering) member
  2. Active regular attendee (at least 1 or 2 Sundays a month) of Tacoma Center for Spiritual Living for at least six months

Assistance is typically provided one time per calendar year.  Additional community resource information may be provided in order to serve your current needs.

In addition, financial assistance is only in the form of a fixed amount food or gas card, or check made out by CSL directly to the business or organization owed money. No cash will ever be distributed for any reason. Please know that we may not be able to fully fund your request.

Application Steps:

  1. Acquire an application either from the information table in the back of the sanctuary, from a Spiritual Coach, a Minister, or online at csltacoma.org.
  2. Complete the application and return via email, in a sealed envelope either by stamped mail, by dropping in the church front door mail drop slot, or hand delivered to a Spiritual Coach or minister. Be assured that your request is confidential and will only be read and responded to by the Member Assistance Committee.

A church member may ask a caregiver or advocate to apply on their behalf.  The application will require the church members acknowledgement of the assistance to complete the application.

You will be contacted as soon as possible by a committee member who will arrange a date and time for either a phone or in person intake discussion. At least two members of the committee will be present to process your application.

We strongly encourage you to accept our supportive suggestion to meet with a CSL Spiritual Coach for prayer treatment and/or a visioning session.
