Christian Science
Primary Class Instruction

Understanding and Experiencing God

Class instruction is all about deeper, clearer views of what God is, and discovering what that means about our true nature as God's creation. These spiritual views translate into learning to trust God more and more and seeing things through a more Christ-like lens — enabling healing to take place for ourselves, others, and the issues we face throughout the world. A little info about class instruction is outlined below, and I'd be happy to talk with you about it if you're interested in finding out more.

About

Instruction in Christian Science

Christian Science Primary class instruction is a 12-day immersion course in Christian Science in which students learn to understand the life and teachings of Christ Jesus and follow his example in healing themselves and others. 

 

You study the questions and answers in the chapter "Recapitulation" in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Other course material includes citations from the Bible and other writings of Mary Baker Eddy.

Who

Who Should Apply

Class is for anyone studying Christian Science who wants to take a deeper dive into understanding this practice of Christianity and apply it more consistently in their lives and efforts to help the world. This could mean you’ve found out about Christian Science fairly recently, or have been practicing it for a long time. The important part is a yearning to know more about God and to experience God more in your daily life.

Working as a Christian Science Practitioner

This course is also a stepping stone for those wishing to establish a public practice of Christian Science.

Teachers

Finding a Christian Science Teacher

Finding the right teacher for you is a personal thing, primarily between you and God. Each individual must follow their own clearest sense of how divine Love is leading them. The qualities and characteristics that resonate with you about how and what a teacher communicates are one way you might feel guided. Sometimes direction comes in less obvious terms, and we can be open to whatever feels most right.

Options

In the end, every teacher uses the same source materials and helps point students to the same Science of Christ. Tom is one of many teachers of Christian Science who is authorized by the Board of Education at The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, MA.
