I really enjoyed getting to meet new people and see God's joy and love shine through them. It was such a calming reminder of His constant presence.

For young Adults

Join other young adults in boldly living Christian Science, going on adventures, and making lasting friendships.

20s/30s

Connect with other adults through exciting trips across the country (or to new countries!). Try something new, make friends, and share in deep conversations.

I would say a highlight from the night was connecting people that didn’t know each other! Lots of cool conversations popping up between people who had recently moved to the city/etc.

Ignite

In this three-month program, 18- to 23-year-olds form meaningful relationships while embracing Christian Science spiritual study. Explore topics over bi-weekly virtual calls and attend one in-person retreat, alongside a facilitator.

I really gained lots of insight that will be very helpful to take back to my relationships and friendships back home.

For Teens

Teens find new friends, confidence, and a deeper understanding of Christian Science through National Leadership Council and Compass programs, and grow from incredible experiences.

National Leadership Council (NLC)

The focus of this transformative four-year program is to foster growth as Christian Scientists and servant-hearted leaders. Starting in the 8th grade, teens rise through the program alongside their classmates, led by two adult class leaders, learning, traveling the world, and volunteering in their communities. Graduates of this program earn a Congressional Award Medal, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. Applications are open only for 8th-graders August 14 – September 14.

Questions about NLC? Register for the Zoom info call May 4, at 6:30 p.m. MT.

NLC has been such a blessing in my life, and I am so grateful for all the joy and friendships, and opportunities it has provided me!

Compass

Many teens are on a journey to better understand themselves and the world around them. Compass supports that journey as a tool for a spiritual path – one that’s full of adventure! During their school year, teens in 10th–12th grade are led by two adult guides, meeting for two in-person retreats and monthly virtual hangouts to explore themes relevant to them. Registration is open April 15 – September 1 or until full.

It's always so refreshing to be in a Christian Science environment. It carries into my day-to-day life at home and makes me a better person.

Boldly live Christian Science

In each program and at every event, Christian Science is the foundation. DiscoveryBound provides opportunities for joyful adventure where you can fully embrace Christian Science practice, welcome fresh insight from inspirational talks and conversations, and turn to support from Christian Science practitioners dedicated to your activity.

These moments are full of love and healing, and are planned with prayer. You can expect to feel warmly embraced in each of these programs.

And if Christian Science is new to you, we welcome you to our Outreach activities, where you'll have the opportunity to experience it with your friends.

I was healed of a hurt back during the Keynote presentation. The concept that I believed really helped was the recognition of good all around me.

I was with other CS people, so asking for this support felt natural and easy.

I loved the feeling of community started by the inspirational talk that made us think and continue that thought process through the weekend.
