What Do Licensed Practitioners of Religious Science Do?

Our dedicated Practitioners of Our Spiritual Center make up “the healing arm of the church.” Each one embraces the entire congregation with loving consciousness, uplifting and serving through Healing Prayer Treatment, “the conscious, active recognition of Spiritual Presence, Spiritual Force, Spiritual Law and Spiritual Order.” These practitioners have received their licenses following a number of years of Science of Mind course work, plus in-depth Practitioner studies in prayer treatment.

Our Ministry of Prayer is made up of 6 licensed Science of Mind Practitioners who are committed to daily prayer treatment for those who have requested assistance. Persons experiencing personal challenges may request Healing Prayer Treatment through the Prayer Box, which along with prayer request cards, is located on the table at the door of Our Spiritual Center. We have licensed ministers and practitioners in our congregation. They offer their services to you every Sunday immediately following our Gathering for prayer assistance in healing conditions in your life. Take advantage of this free opportunity!

The role of Licensed Practitioner is to assist individuals in making changes in their lives by making changes in their consciousness. The fundamental tool of the Professional Practitioner is Spiritual Mind Treatment, which is scientific affirmative prayer. Our Practitioners are specifically trained to shift consciousness on behalf of and for the individual through the use of this tool.
 

This effective use of Spiritual Mind Treatment is based on a fundamental law of the Universe: all true and lasting change takes place as a result of a change in consciousness. A practitioner effects this change by assisting the individual to transform beliefs, perspectives and attitudes, bringing his/her beliefs into alignment with the outcome desired.
 

Licensed Practitioners also use these principles to assist organizations in making changes in their business products, services, and bottom lines, for an organization is simply the outer manifestation of the beliefs of the leaders and members and customers of the organization. Therefore, in order to change an organization, changes in the minds of the leaders, employees and customers of an organization are what bring about changes in the organization. Practitioners work with leaders and members in making these changes in consciousness.
 

I am responsible
For what I see
I choose the feelings
I experience
And I decide upon
The goal I would achieve.
And everything
That seems to happen to me
I ask for,
And receive as I have asked.
