Leadership

The leaders of Spiritual Life Center are Revs. Ron Scott and Rev Martha Creek. Pastoral care is provided by appointment. Feel free to reach out to us!

Rev. Ron Scott

After graduating with an M.B.A. from the University of Michigan, Ron pursued a career in business for a number of years. Thereafter, his faith led him to respond to a call to enter Unity School of Christianity.

Upon graduation, Ron and his wife, Lenore, were guided to Austin, Texas where they pioneered Unity Church of the Hills. The ministry began in 1995 with thirty persons attending Sunday services and grew into a thriving spiritual community of over six hundred with many classes, workshops, and other activities during the week.

They returned to Michigan in 2007 when Ron joined the Ministerial Team of Renaissance Unity. In 2010 he and Lenore were guided to pioneer a new Church, “Spiritual Life Center – A Unity Message of Hope” in Troy. This has been an exciting time in ministry – and it is showing in the marvelous energy and life changes for the persons involved in the Church.

“My life has been transformed by spiritual principles,” says Ron, “and I want to share this with every person who seeks the same.”

In addition to family, Ron has a special love for Twelve Steps, friends, reading, running, the waterfront, music, and movies.

Rev. Ron Scott is the author of the book, Making Life Work for You: A Jesus Approach.

Rev Martha Creek

We are very pleased that Rev Martha Creek joined the staff of SLC in October of 2021. When you first meet or hear Rev Martha share a message, you will immediately want to bask in her positive, loving influence and catch sparks from her irresistible joyous energy. Martha is very gifted in a myriad of ways. Just chat with Martha a few minutes, and you will receive bounds of uplifting encouragement, nuggets of wisdom, wrapped in candid honesty and love.

Martha is a self-employed ministry consultant since 2004 and served as Minister Associate at Unity of Louisville for six years prior to consulting. She began her New Thought studies at the Religious Science of Nashville, Tennessee, in 1998. She completed all Unity Ministerial Education requirements in 2000. She received her Masters of Religious Studies and Ordination from Emerson Institute in 2002 and a Doctorate of Divinity in 2014. She was ordained by Divine Science International in 2016.

Martha’s mission is simple: “to serve those who serve.” Martha is a leader, minister, facilitator, an author, coach, public speaker, and our servant-hearted team builder.

We’d like to share with you more about Martha, in the words of Rev Ron Scott:

“…We share with you a fact many persons in our church family are not aware of. Rev Martha Creek is an icon in the Unity movement, a spiritual giant we in Spiritual Life Center are blessed to have as one of our ministers. I personally am very conscious of those in my life who are gifted with spiritual wisdom and understanding. Martha is a soul who comes closest to Rev Jack Boland in not only having these gifts – but also in sharing these readily with the world around her. The leaders of Unity are aware of this. That is why they asked Martha to provide a keynote address at their Annual Conference this past summer (2022). And this is why they continually call upon her to offer workshops and classes. Rev Martha’s messages are brilliant – filled with inspiration and insight.”

What more can we say! Martha celebrates living with full authenticity—a blessed life indeed.

Bio for Rev. Lenore Scott, Co-founder

Upon graduation from Unity School of Christianity, Lenore Scott joined her husband, Ron, to pioneer and develop Unity Church of the Hills in Austin, Texas. The Church became a thriving spiritual community of about 600 adults and youngsters on an average Sunday with many classes, workshops and other activities during the week.

Lenore was dedicated to the process of personal and spiritual growth for over 40 years. During this time she was actively involved at Church of Today, presently Renaissance Unity, in Warren, Michigan where she served as a teacher, speaker and staff member.

Lenore’s skills of working with people developed further during her seven years on the staff of the Pavilion, a treatment and recovery center then located north of Montreal. Earlier in her career, Lenore worked for a training program in the city of Detroit assisting economically-disadvantaged persons to find employment.

“Spiritual principles and their application have transformed my life – there is no greater joy than to see God come alive in people and watch their lives change,” says Lenore.

Home and family, children and grandchildren, friends, reading, music, old movies and the beauty of nature all brought special pleasure to Lenore’s days.
