Rev. John MorelandRev. John Moreland has been the Community Spiritual Leader of Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center since April of 2002. He is originally from Los Angeles, California, his home for most of his life before coming to Idaho. Rev. John's first positions in ministry were at the Center for Spiritual Living in San Jose, where he created a pastoral care program, and later at United Life Church in Oklahoma City, where he was a staff minister. While there, he served as an educator and later as a short-term interim pastor while United Life Church sought a permanent minister.

Rev. John has a passion for creating vision focused spiritual communities and feels blessed to be able to do so in a place of such incredible beauty. He feels that it is the congregation's commitment to acting out of vision that has made the growth of the past few years at Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center possible.

Rev. John received his Masters of Divinity from the Holmes Institute in 2000 after having earned Bachelor of Art degrees in both Graphic Design and Music from California State University Northridge. Rev. John is also available for spiritual counseling sessions and as an officiant for weddings and memorial services both locally and non-locally.

R.L. Rowsey
- Director of the ArtsR.L. Rowsey enjoys life. He has spent the majority of his time since his first piano lesson when he was six years old exploring the splendor of the arts. His experiences have given him opportunities to travel the country extensively. A native of Richmond, Virginia, R.L. studied voice and piano at Virginia Commonwealth University. He was the resident musical director for several theatres on the east coast. After conducting several national tours of Broadway musicals, R.L. turned his focus to arts administration and returned to his hometown as the associate producing artistic director for TheatreVirginia, a regional theatre based in Richmond. He then spent time as the company manager for a national tour of STATE FAIR starring John Davidson before becoming the general manager for NETworks, a company which produces a variety of national tours.

Idaho caught R.L.'s eye when he attended a Company of Fools' production of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. Four years ago, R.L. and his partner John Glenn moved to Hailey to join forces with old friends from Virginia as core company artists for Company of Fools. During the time that R.L. has been in Idaho, he has become the artistic director for the Sun Valley Summer Symphony Music Conservatory, as assistant conductor for Caritas Chorale, a board member for the Hailey Chamber, and the head of the music program at Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center.

R.L. is blessed to have spent his life following dreams and feels so fortunate to have found a supportive community that embraces the power of the arts and celebrates the individual instincts that inspire the cultivation and development of artists and their work.

We are a vision-based organization that is guided by an elected Core Council. Our Core Council members are responsible for making the business and general policy decisions for Light on the Mountains Spiritual Center. Our Community Spiritual Leader is a permanent member, while the Council Members serve three-year terms.
