ADVENTURES IN SPIRIT 2026 PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
CSLDALLAS 3.0
COURAGEOUS | CONFIDENT | PROSPEROUS
Pledge Campaign Goal: $840,000 & 205 Pledgers
What Is AIS?
Every October, we delve into the Spiritual Laws of Prosperity, Abundance, Attraction, Circulation, Tithing, and Sacred Giving. Together, we cultivate prosperity consciousness and trust Spirit as our Source. Through our annual pledge program, we practice sacred giving according to these Laws.
At CSLDallas, our programs and services rely solely on contributions from community members; we receive no external funding. To expand and achieve more, we must all give more. By pledging to CSLDallas for 2024, you form a sacred covenant with us, ensuring our transformative work continues.
Your pledge, alongside others’, shapes our annual budget, and we promise to spend only what the community has pledged. Whether you’re a first-time pledger or a committed contributor, every pledge and dollar count. Join us in exceeding our goals and securing the prosperity and well-being of CSLDallas.
Our Priorities For 2026
Our 2026 program is designed to feed the needs of our community, in person and online, while continuing to spread the message of Science of Mind, wherever there are spiritual seekers who are ready for a positive, practical spirituality and a community committed to practicing it together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tithing?
Tithing is the consistent spiritual practice of passing on that which we receive to something greater than ourselves. This practice of faith, trust, and generosity has been practiced for thousands of years. Faith and belief grow through acts of gratitude. For example, we all know that when we give love we get it back, when we demon-strate kindness we get kindness in return, and when we show our understanding we receive understanding. This is also true with our financial resources. The more we give, the more we receive. Tithing is a spiritual principle of circulation which we practice by gratefully giving back to our Source. Individuals who practice tithing give at least 10% of their income to the communities and organizations from which they are spiritually fed or whose spiritual mission they feel led to enhance. When you ask someone who tithes why they do it, you will always hear about the abundance tith-ing creates in their lives, abundance in love, friends, careers, peace and financial resources. Tithing is about FAITH – The knowingness that Life Itself will meet your every need and fulfill your every desire. Tithing is about GRATITUDE – Knowing that Source is already showering you with all the Good that you have received. Tithing is about Living in the Flow of Life!
If My Circumstances Change During the Year, Can I Change My Pledge?
Yes. You may increase or decrease your pledge at any time. This program is not designed to be a bill you owe, but rather a gift you give that transforms your life, through spiritual prosperity principles, and the life of our spiritual community. Once a quarter, you will receive information about your giving so you’ll know where you are with respect to your contribution.
How Does It Work?
Each member and friend of CSLDallas receives a letter from the Center that includes a Pledge Card. You are asked to prayerfully and thoughtfully make a specific dollar pledge to be given during the following year (January 1 to December 31). You may give your financial gifts, offerings or tithes on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or, annual basis. You can fill out a Pledge Card online or return a physical card to the Center by mail, or in the offering on any Sunday.
Does the Money Committed in This Campaign Pay for All the Expenses in Our Approved Center's Budget?
The answer is no. However, the intent of the campaign is to cover most of our expected expenses through regular, consistent giving. Generally speaking, the goal of the campaign is to raise approximately 94% of the approved budget. The balance of the money used to operate the Center comes from classes, seminars, workshops and non-pledged gifts. Most importantly, our efforts allow the leadership of CSLDallas to accurately forecast the income, which enables us to make better financial decisions and to be better stewards. In other words, we use these commitments as a compass to guide us.
What if I Don’t Think I Can Pledge Right Now?
This is clearly an individual’s choice
and we will support any decision you make. However, we encourage you to thoughtfully consider what making a pledge will mean for you. Ernest Holmes, Founder of Science of Mind, teaches us that what we can see in our mind becomes our reality. Simply stated, if we see ourselves with growing resources, we create our personal expansion. Think about committing yourself to a goal and trusting the Law of Prosperity, thus continuing to build a world full of individuals who have trusted Spirit to provide based on their willingness to give. Do you really have anything to lose, other than fear and limitation?
