My church is a healing church.
If you’ve grown up as a Christian Scientist, you may have heard this phrase enough times to tune it out. But pause on it: What a powerful statement! What amazing advertising. The promise to be healed at church is not hollow. You can probably think of times when you arrived at church feeling bummed, sick, sleepy, or anxious, only to find comfort in a hymn, a good testimony, or a line from the Bible or Science and Health. And when you walked out of church, you were at least uplifted, if not fully healed.
Christian Science church services offer more than fellowship, comfort, or music, as great as those are. Christian Scientists know that healing happens reliably as we pray and listen to God during a service and our thoughts move to new, inspired places.
