Science of Mind Churches

The term "Religious Science" is often used interchangeably with the phrase "Science of the Mind". In fact, Science of Mind is a metaphysical philosophy that shares many of the characteristics of the New Thought movement. Religious Science, on the other hand, refers to the organizational outgrowth of Science of Mind beliefs and practices.

Science of Mind appeals to people from a variety of religious backgrounds because it honors the pursuit of God in all traditions while encouraging followers to explore the collision of science, philosophy and religion. Entrepreneurs in the Religious Science tradition have the potential to draw followers from a large prospect pool, focusing primarily on religiously inclined individuals who are open to New Thought beliefs.

The Alliance for Spiritual Understanding is an organization that caters to the needs of Science of Mind practitioners and leaders, and can be a useful resource for entrepreneurs attempting to launch a new organization in the Religious Science field.

Press Kits: A Resource for Startup Science of Mind Churches

A public relations strategy can be an effective way to introduce your new Religious Science church to the people in your local community. The first step in executing a PR strategy is to create a press kit for your organization. Press kits are filled with useful information, multimedia and potential stories for local media professionals. Sometimes, press kits can even provide ready-made stories that cater to time-starved reporters and journalists.
