Christian Science Practitioners

Many people today have questions about whether prayer can make a difference. Christian Scientists and Christian Science practitioners are convinced it can. They’ve seen evidence of it. They’ve experienced real healing proof of God’s care. And they are available to help others find how prayer can bring healing to their lives.

While prayer itself can be any heartfelt desire to know God better, prayer for healing is specifically based on applying the laws of God that were evident in Christ Jesus’ ministry. It is known as Christian Science treatment and is covered on all our health plans, subject to a deductible. Learn more about using the Christian Science care benefits here.
