Why don’t Christian Scientists drink or use drugs?

Christian Science treatment follows the healing practice of Christ Jesus, where no drugs or doctors were used. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science states, 

“Divine Truth, Life, and Love gave Jesus authority over sin, sickness, and death.”

Christian Science Healing Testimonies

There are thousands of recorded healings in the Bible and in Christian Science publications.  Many Christian Science healings have occurred by simply reading the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. This healing book is Eddy’s main body of work and a companion to the Bible. It contains sections on Genesis and Revelation, and is part of the Christian Science Weekly Bible Lesson. It also has a chapter called Fruitage, consisting of healing testimonies.

You will find a lot of love and support for your spiritual journey at any of our Churches or Reading Rooms. Churches hold services twice weekly, including a healing testimony meeting on Wednesdays.

Reading rooms are open varied hours according to location. We love visitors and are available to answer questions, and offer resources such as Bible study lessons and other publications from the Christian Science Publishing Society.

Please Contact Us with questions about Christian Science or call your local church, reading room or Christian Science Practitioner.
