Living Enrichment Center, often referred to as LEC, was a New Thought megachurch and retreat center. Originally founded in the Scholls, Oregon farm house of senior minister Mary Manin Morrissey in the mid-1970s, the church grew so exponentially that it moved to a 94,500 square foot (8,800 m²) building on a forested area of 95 acres (384,000 m²) in Wilsonville, Oregon in 1992. Over the course of its existence, the congregation grew from less than a dozen to an estimated 4,000 making it the biggest New Thought church in the state. Living Enrichment Center also maintained an in-house bookstore, retreat center, cafe, kindergarten and elementary school, and an outreach television ministry. Living Enrichment Center closed in 2004 as a result of a $10.7 million financial scandal. Mary Manin Morrissey's husband Edward Morrissey pled guilty to money laundering and using church money for the personal expenses of himself and his wife. He was sentenced to two years in federal prison. He was released in early 2007. Living Enrichment Center transitioned into New Thought Center for Spiritual Living.
