Our Practitioners
What is a Licensed Religious Science Professional Practitioner?
A licensed Religious Science Professional Practitioner has been trained to help people use the art and skill of affirmative prayer to solve challenges and reveal healing in difficult situations. A Professional Practitioner lives, practices and demonstrates Spiritual Truth. United Church of Religious Science grants the license to practice as a Professional Practitioner of Religious Science after a four-year course of study.
What is a Spiritual Mind Treatment?
Often referred to as affirmative prayer, Spiritual Mind Treatment is a technique based on the principle that each person is surrounded by a Universal Mind that responds to thoughts and beliefs. Through Spiritual Mind Treatment, belief about one’s self changes, thereby creating a change in body and affairs.
How Do I Use the Services of a Licensed Professional Practitioner?
As a way of sharing with congregants and visitors, professional practitioners give freely of their time after our Sunday service, when they are available for prayer. They also make up Light on the Mountains’ Ministry of Prayer praying for all requests received through our website and on-site prayer box. If you would like a more in-depth meeting, you may make an appointment with any of our practitioners for an in person or phone spiritual counseling session. You may do so by expressing interest by sending an e-mail to us. This is a paid professional service.
