After The United Metaphysical Churches purchased the Roanoke property in 1994, there was a desire from the local Roanoke people who wanted to become a Chartered UMC Church. On August 15, 1999, Charter # 13 was issued to the Roanoke Metaphysical Chapel with the following officers and Pastor:
President & Pastor: Rev. Stephen H. Duncan; Vice President: LaRue Sherman; Secretary: Ann Gilmer; Treasurer: Robert (Bob) Murray; Trustees: Melody Turner; JoEllen Morris; Lester Duenk; Gerald Lehman & Ramona Morris. Our previous Pastors were: Rev. Stephen H. Duncan, Rev. Al Florey, Rev. Ramona Morris, Rev. Patty Allen, and Rev. Mike Perry.
The United Metaphysical Churches which chartered the Roanoke Metaphysical Chapel is a nationwide organization that is listed in the Cumulative List of Organizations described in Section 170© of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a central organization holding a group exemption letter, whose subordinate units covered by the group exemption are also included as having contributions deductible, even though they are not separately listed.
Please know that we are all part of the United Metaphysical Churches, and you may continue your spiritual interest by contacting UMC.For more information about UMC to to Unitedmeta.org
Divine Metaphysics is a Science, Philosophy and Religion which accepts the existence of an infinite intelligence.
Other truths are contained in the Declaration of Principles as accepted by the United Metaphysical Churches and can be found under the section, “This we believe.”
One of the truths of Divine Metaphysics is to teach these truths pertaining to man’s spiritual and physical welfare. However, the practice and promulgation of these truths do not make Divine Metaphysics a creed because each individual is encouraged to worship God according to the dictates of his or her own conscience.
An understanding of God’s Natural Universal Laws teaches an individual how to love, here and hereafter.
All people are family, and God is their Father. Therefore, all people are divine because they have the spark of God within them.
They all have potentialities of God if they choose to develop them.
Heaven and hell are states of mental consciousness and not literal abodes.
