Discovery Class
This is a free two-week class for new or prospective members, or for anyone who wants to know more about our Center, our teaching or who just want to re-connect. Discovery Classes are offered each quarter, and give an overview of Religious Science through lecture and videos, while giving participants a chance to get to know others through small group interaction. Some of the topics covered are:
- What is Spiritual Mind Treatment and How to Use It
- The Law of Circulation and How to Use It
- What We Believe About Heaven, Hell, Jesus, and Our True Nature
Ernest Holmes, founder of the Science of Mind, writes,“There is a Power in the Universe for good and I can use it.” Through discovery you will come to see more and more that the Power he is referring to is right where you are. The class is a wonderful place to meet like-minded people enjoying discussion and refreshments. It's informative, fun and there's no charge!

Why take classes?
The basic principles we study are profound, but not necessarily easy to embody and practice in our daily lives. Sunday morning is where we hear about our potential, but the classroom is where we experience the practical application of principle. The process of regular Science of Mind™ class attendance is how we begin to embody a true change in our consciousness.
No matter who you are or what the current issues on your path, in classes you will find a new perspective - in a timeless message that is totally relevant for today. Each class is taught in a fun and fast-paced format. The support of shared insights and the opportunity to ask questions in a classroom setting offer a learning environment not easily duplicated with solitary study. The discipline of regular attendance and the weekly readings create a framework for asking the big questions about life and our place in it.

What happens in class?
Through lectures, discussions, and workshops led by a qualified instructor, the student learns how to personalize the same metaphysical principles which the great masters throughout history have used to experience greater wholeness! Each class takes on an energy of its own which stimulates each individual mind.

Is there tuition for classes?
Yes. Taking a Science of Mind™ class requires a commitment of both time and money. The truth is, little can be achieved without commitment. It creates an expectancy of change which is very valuable. Tuition is set by Religious Science International and is standard for all churches.
