Who We Are | Selah Center

We are not a church or an institution, but a group of men and women throughout the Puget Sound area with a variety of life backgrounds and experiences with Jesus, who — rather than staying trapped in the rush of daily life — are committed to exploring Christ-centered contemplative rhythms that shape and care for our souls, and also who are committed to companion with others along life’s ordinary journey.

Whatever your spiritual path might be, there is always time to pause with others in a safe and welcoming place...catch your breath...share some stories...find encouragement…and encounter Jesus in fresh, life-giving ways.

Contact the Selah Center and connect with companions eager to meet you. Read a brief history of the Selah Center here.

What is Contemplative living?

Being attentive to God in the present moments of your life; giving prolonged attention to God's dynamic presence in the ordinary; melting my innate resistance to God’s love, and awakening to and receiving the glory of God’s presence within; responding to life from a reflective, Christ-centered core; pausing to catch my breath and reflect with Jesus so I don’t miss the wonder of the moment, even in tough times.
