A Christian Science Nursing Service
for the greater Kansas City area
Our Mission
To provide Christian Science nursing care in the Kansas City and surrounding areas and to assure its availability to Christian Scientists:
- who are relying on Christian Science for healing
- who are working with a Christian Science practitioner
- on a reduced-cost basis to those who demonstrate financial need
Our Vision
To demonstrate on a daily basis Mary Baker Eddy’s definition of church (S&H 583:13), her provision for Christian Science nursing according to Article 8, Sec 31 of the Church Manual and her qualities of a nurse in S&H page 395.
We Are Seeking a Christian Science Nurse
We are currently seeking an experienced Journal-listed, full-time Visiting Christian Science nurse. Please call (816) 213-2279 for more information. Visit the Job Opening page to download the Job Description and Application.
Our volunteer Love’s Provision board has laid a complete foundation with organization, policies and plans and is ready to hire an experienced, Journal-listed Christian Science nurse.
Fully Supported
We have been fully supported in initiating this much-needed service by The Mother Church’s office of Manager, Christian Science Nursing Activities, and a number of Christian Science nursing services and facilities throughout the country, including the B.A. in Boston and Peace Haven in St. Louis.
Prayerful & Financial Support
All area Christian Scientists are encouraged to prayerfully and financially support this activity and our effort to hire a Christian Science nurse, since there appears to be a shortage of Christian Science nurses nation-wide.
Theme for 2022
Our theme for 2022 is “entertaining angels unawares,”
(see Science and Health 574:27). We invite you to join us in exploring this topic and sharing your spiritual insights with us.
