The Christian Meditation Center (CMC) has been established to serve as a vehicle to introduce people to the benefits of meditation and to train them how to meditate. We want to partner with the leadership within churches to offer meditation programs to their members. CMC offers seminars, bible studies, retreats, individual and group spiritual direction, book clubs, and resources to serve as tools to further promote the benefits of meditation.Our primary goal is to provide meditation programs in churches, healthcare and addiction facilities, workplaces, prisons, and the community at large.About Our FounderTeresa Yerkes, founder of the Christian Meditation Center, has been a devoted Christian since 1983 and has practiced Christian meditation since 2000.
