Metaphysical Christianity is a Christ-centered, contemplative expression of the Christian faith that emphasizes inner transformation as much as outward belief.

It stands on the same historic Christian branch as evangelical Christianity — affirming Jesus, Scripture, prayer, the cross, and resurrection — but it draws from a different vine: one that focuses on spiritual formation, healing, and awakening to the mind of Christ.

In Credo of a Metaphysical Christian, Mark Hicks explains that this tradition honors orthodox Christian roots while reading Scripture as both historical and transformational. The stories of the Bible are not only events to believe,they are invitations to become. Where some traditions emphasize salvation primarily as a transaction, metaphysical Christianity understands it as restoration of the whole person; heart, mind, and life.

It draws deeply from the Church’s mystical stream, resonating with contemplatives like Meister Eckhart and Teresa of Ávila, who taught that the Kingdom of God is discovered within the transformed heart. In practice, this means worship that includes silence, prayer, meditation on Scripture, sacred song, and healing presence.

Simply put: Metaphysical Christianity is historic Christianity lived as a path of interior renewal, not only believing in Christ, but growing through practice into the life of Christ.
