Welcome
The First Center of Religious Science NYC (formerly the First Center for Spiritual Living) has been a spiritual home in the heart of Manhattan since 1946. Founded by Rev. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker at the request of Rev. Dr. Ernest Holmes, our Center has been led by inspiring teachers including Rev. Dr. Stuart Grayson, Louise Hay, and Rev. Wade Adkisson. Today, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Greg Harte, we continue to share the teachings of Religious Science—empowering lives through spiritual growth, healing, and community.
