L.E.N.T. 2026: Let's Eliminate Negative Thinking
2026-02-16 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
Lent isn’t about giving up chocolate — it’s about giving up the thoughts that keep us small.
Join Understanding Principles Church for a powerful 7-week journey through Charles Fillmore’s classic Keep a True Lent. Each day, we’ll move through the text together — learning to identify and eliminate the negative thinking patterns that block our good and to resurrect the Christ mind within.
Daily Classes: Monday–Friday beginning February 16, 2026 Time: 7:00 PM PT Duration: 30 minutes of teaching + 30 minutes of fellowship Cost: $50 Runs through: April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday)
Five dynamic facilitators from the UP Church family will guide you through this transformative season. Weekend experiences will also be offered — details coming soon.
Your $50 registration includes: — Access to all daily live classes — Recordings of every session — Complimentary access to the UP Church Digital Library during Lent — Private Facebook group exclusively for L.E.N.T. 2026 participants

New Member Orientation: Discover Your Spiritual Home
2026-02-28 09:00 - 13:00 | Zoom
You’ve been watching. Maybe you’ve joined us on a Sunday or caught a service online. Something resonated — and now you’re wondering if this is the place for you.
We think it might be.
Understanding Principles Church is a Bible-based New Thought community where spiritual growth isn’t just encouraged — it’s the whole point. Founded by the late Della Reese and rooted in over 40 years of transformational teaching, UP Church is a place where you can ask big questions, think deeply, and grow without judgment.
Whether you’re across the street in Inglewood or across the world, you belong here. Our congregation spans from Saskatchewan to South Korea, and our members lead, serve, and thrive from wherever they are. Geography doesn’t determine participation — connection does.
In this orientation, you’ll discover:
— What we believe and how we teach — What New Thought is and how it applies to everyday life — What membership looks like and what it means to be part of the UP Church family — How we support your spiritual development through classes, community, and care — How to get connected — whether you worship with us in person or online
This is not a commitment. It’s a conversation. Come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s see if we’re the spiritual home you’ve been looking for.

The Della Legacy Dinner: 40 Years of Faith, Vision, and Purpose
2026-04-26 17:00 - 21:00 | UP Church, 8722 Crenshaw Blvd., Inglewood, CA, 90305
Forty years ago, a woman of extraordinary faith planted a seed in Inglewood, California. That seed became Understanding Principles Church — a spiritual home that has transformed lives across generations and around the world.
On Saturday, April 26, 2025, we gather to honor the legacy of our founder, the late Rev. Della Reese-Lett, and to celebrate four decades of ministry that have carried her vision far beyond anything a single building could contain.
This is an evening of elegance, gratitude, and remembrance. An evening to celebrate where we’ve been, who we are, and the future God is unfolding through this ministry.
Join us for a black tie dinner featuring an evening of fine dining, fellowship, and tribute to the woman whose obedience to God’s call made all of this possible.
Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025 Time: 5:00 PM Attire: Black Tie Cost: $75 per person
Whether you were touched by Rev. Della’s ministry on screen, in the sanctuary, or through the lives she changed that went on to change yours — this evening is for you.
Come dressed in your finest. Come ready to celebrate. Come honor a legacy that lives on in every life UP Church continues to reach.
