The Leadership Team at Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living
Rev. Jill Clements
Sr Minister, President, Treasurer
Rev. Jill Clements
Rev Jill founded the Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living in January 2015 after receiving her Master’s Degree in Consciousness Studies in 2014 from the Holmes Institute, Centers for Spiritual Living School of Spiritual Leadership. She has been a student of the teachings of the Science of Mind since 1999 and was called to ministry in 2010.
Rev. Jill practices the principles of Science of Mind and Spirit to continually evolve in all areas of her life. It is her joy to share this teaching with others seeking to expand in their understanding of life through their personal spiritual growth. She believes that we are all the perfection of God expressing in form and that we already have everything we need, even though sometimes we just can’t see it for ourselves.
Rev. Jill is originally from Virginia and has lived in Arizona since 1992. She has been a resident of Scottsdale since 1996.
Jim Suelflow
Secretary
Jim Suelflow
Jim was introduced to the Science of Mind teachings in 2004 at the Los Angeles Church of Religious Science, where he studied with Dr. David J. Walker. Upon returning to Arizona to care for his father, he spent a decade navigating conservative Christianity at his family’s church, reframing those teachings through a New Thought lens. Following his father's passing, Jim found his spiritual home at SCSL in 2023.
With a long career in advertising design focused on entertainment and major brands, Jim brings creativity, media experience, and a passion for communication to his service. At SCSL, he supports livestreaming and video production, and is dedicated to helping grow the community by reaching those who identify as "spiritual but not religious." His personal passions include art, music, choral singing, and future-facing technologies.

I have been studying the teaching of Science of Mind for over 30 years. I have recently moved from Northern California and find that life here is Arizona is a blessing. As Events Coordinator, I am excited to be in this community. It is enriching my life and touching others with this magnificent spiritual teaching. As I continue to grow and expand, I am personally focused on living my life in Grace.
Steven Losinske
Membership Coordinator
Steven Losinske
Steven was introduced to Earnest Holmes' teachings at the New Vision CSL where his journey began in “earnest” when participating in the Foundation of the Science of Mind Class. Steven is a founding member of the Scottsdale Center for Spiritual Living and has participated in many services and events over the years. Due to a work schedule that included Sundays, his ability to attend services was limited until now.
With a commitment to ongoing personal and spiritual growth and gratitude for this community’s support, he is honored to step into greater service as a member of the Center’s leadership team. His commitment is to represent our community members by service on the Board of Trustees with an emphasis on fun and fundraising in support of continued growth and engagement for our Center.
