Feel free to contact a practitioner or teacher by phone, email, Skype, text, written letter, etc., or to drop by for a visit to their office. If you're interested, you should feel free to contact any teacher, and not just those in your own area, to find out more about taking a class with them, which is called "Primary class instruction."
Christian Science nurses
Christian Science nurses help people who need skilled and experienced physical assistance while they rely on Christian Science treatment for healing. Christian Science nurses help foster a healing atmosphere and help people function as normally as possible while healing progresses. You can contact a Christian Science nurse to ask questions about the services they provide.

Press and legislative contacts
The division of the Christian Science church that handles media relations and legislative issues is known as the Committee on Publication. Along with the manager and spokesperson in Boston, there are 135 spokespeople in local regions in the USA and in other countries around the world.
Christian Science chaplains
If you are serving in the Armed Forces, you can contact a Christian Scientist serving as a Protestant Chaplain in the Armed Forces . Local branches may sponsor non-military chaplains who serve local prisons or other institutions in your area. Here's more information about chaplains.
The Christian Science pastor
It is common for people to want to speak with a church pastor. The Christian Science pastor is available around the clock. That's because our pastor is not a person, but two books: the Bible,and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can bring your thoughts and questions to these books, and you will find the answers and help you're looking for.
