​CSA Staff

The Team That Keeps Our Center Running

Behind the scenes, there's a flurry of daily activity that takes a team of people to ensure that our center runs smoothly.  These people often spend way more time than their job descriptions call for and they do it because they love the CSA community.  We are thankful to have these people working for us because if they didn't show up each week, many of the seamless events just wouldn't happen.

Dr. Bill Little
Spiritual Director
He was educated at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, where he obtained a Ph.D. in Molecular Physics in 1969. Immediately afterward, he served in the U.S. Navy at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, as a teacher of mathematics and physics. After he was released from active duty he chose to further his study of metaphysics, which led to a ministerial degree from Religious Science International (RSI) in 1975.

KEVIN JOHNSON
The Mindshop Manager
​
The smiling faces of The Mindshop manager Kevin Johnson, and the volunteers who staff our spiritual book and gift store, are frequently the first touch points to members of the public who do not have any prior experience with our community. Kevin, keeps the shelves stocked with everything a spiritual aspirant might find helpful to support their journey of Self-discovery, from ancient wisdom texts to the current bestselling authors in the fields of religion and spirituality, from god and goddess statuary to malas, from candles to jewelry.
Rev. David Hayward is also on staff in The Mindshop. He is a long-term & treasured member of CSA and a Religious Science expert.
“
I learn a lot from my customers,” says Kevin, “whether it be about a book or gift to special-order for them or simply their sharing where they are in their life, including their struggles and triumphs. I like it when people come in and are able to wander around and discover what speaks to them.”

JORGE BONILLA
Maintenance Director

This dedicated worker makes sure that our Center looks great.  He tends to every little details from class setup to making sure the chairs in the Sanctuary are set up with ruler accuracy.  He always has a smile on his face and a spring in his step.  His hard work happens during the week when few see what he really does.  But, without him we'd all soon miss him dearly.
