Our Story: Building Communities of Encouragement
The Spiritual Growth Institute (SGI) is a global community of friends dedicated to teaching the Universal Spiritual Truths found in all World Faith traditions as interpreted in light of modern-day experience and as inspired by the historic teachings of the Grand Community of Metaphysical and New Thought Teachers from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Emma Curtis Hopkins to Charles Haanel. We acknowledge and continue the ministry of the Rev’s Dr. and Mrs. William and Jennie Briggs, an outstanding clergy couple who were called the “Evangelists of Encouragement” and who taught timeless metaphysical principles to help people in the here and now.
We are also a parent ministerial organization that services its constituent ministries with Ministry Credentialing and unified Mission and Outreach.
The Spiritual Growth Institute (SGI) is dedicated to the Spiritual Growth and Human Progress of all the members through the practice of spiritual reading, daily meditation, affirmative prayer treatment, and goal setting through the use of the "Master Key System" by Charles F. Haanel.
The Spiritual Growth Institute (SGI) and its members shall welcome all people into membership and activities. Diversity is essential for our Spiritual growth. As a spiritual and educational community, we are dedicated to eliminating barriers that arise from race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, culture, religion, linguistic diversity, ability, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, personality, learning styles, life experiences or other human characteristics.
The Spiritual Growth Institute (SGI) and its members will work in cooperation and affiliation with the International New Thought Alliance and other New Thought denominations.
