Christian Science Primary class instruction

Christian Science Primary class instruction, a twelve-session course in spiritual healing, was designed by Mary Baker Eddy for those who have been inspired by the ideas in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and who have a heartfelt desire to help others through prayer. It’s a unique and precious opportunity to dig further into your relationship with God.

When you feel an interest in class instruction, the first step is to take your desire prayerfully to God. It is God who has awakened in you the desire for deeper spiritual understanding, and you can trust Him to lead you to the right time, the right place, and the right teacher.

You’ll also find it helpful to read Articles XXVI and XXVII of the Manual of The Mother Church, which you can find in any Christian Science Reading Room or Christian Science Church. These articles establish class instruction, associations, and the rules that govern them. You can order the Manual from the Online Shop.

Christian Science teachers

Primary class is taught by authorized Christian Science teachers located throughout the world. Christian Science teachers are experienced Christian Science practitioners who have taken a course specifically designed to prepare them to teach others how to use the precepts of Christian Science to heal. Every year a teacher offers a two-week course in which pupils are taught how to heal. It’s called Primary class instruction, and anyone, not just members of the church, can contact a teacher about taking the course.

Selecting a Christian Science teacher

Christian Science teachers are located throughout the US and in many countries around the world. For your convenience, we have provided a complete list of Christian Science teachers along with their contact information and a brief biography. Teachers appreciate inquiries and are always happy to answer your questions. You should feel free to contact any teacher, not just those in your own area, to find out more about class instruction. In fact, you may want to talk with more than one teacher as you prayerfully consider the possibilities. Teachers of Christian Science, in obedience to the Manual, are careful to avoid soliciting pupils, so don’t feel obligated if you visit with one teacher and then decide to apply to another.
