History of Triumph Life Center & Spiritual Connections Café

Triumph Life Center opened on October 19, 2019 under the umbrella ofTriumph, the Church of the New Age – International (TCNA) which was founded in 1904. The doors of the Church were opened on January 20, 1904.

We seek to further the work of TCNA founder Bishop Elias Dempsey Smith(1865 – 1920) who had a vision of a new world system that he fully believed was attainable through the shared practice of spiritual principles that would lead to our collective awakening or higher expression of the Divine.Triumph Life Center’s vision is of an inter-dependent community formed from the tapestry of our individual and collective experiences of theDivine that fosters both an embodied spirituality and epistemology as pathways to establishing a new world where all may share in the fullness of life.

Triumph Life Center’s mission is (1) to promote the creation of new ‘cultural practices and social and economic systems’ that are egalitarian, affirms our shared humanity and holds sacred the earth and all life forms; (2) To create a safe and sacred space where marginalized individuals and communities who may not have equal access to opportunities can‘ConnectUp’ to expand both their spiritual and intellectual life and gain access to opportunities for personal growth through shared resources and support for developing spiritual gifts and intellectual pursuits; (3) To honor the Sabbath as a time for individual and collective spiritual, physical, emotional and mental well-being through shared music, spoken word, sacred readings and a communal meal.

Triumph Life Center’s goal is to be a hub for (1) conversations envisioning a new world order; (2) creative arts expressions; (3) emerging social entrepreneurships; (4)  community owned sustainable food systems for access to healthy living; (5) expanding reverence and care for the earth and all life forms; (6) forming alliances and building bridges across community barriers that mutually affirm our shared humanity; (7) people of all faiths, cultures, ethnicities, races, genders, orientations, abilities, personal challenges (i.e., history of incarceration, mental health issues, addictions, physical health, citizenship, housing, employment, relationships status, age etc.) to be in community with each other on one accord.
