Q. 1. Can you tell me if the baptism is valid in the Christian Scientists Church?

A. 1. The head church of the Christian Science Churches states, "Baptism is an individual spiritual experience. It is not a religious rite or ceremony performed by an ordained minister or priest." This clearly indicates that the Christian Science Churches do not practice a baptismal ritual. As such, there is no valid baptism in the Christian Science Churches.

"Baptism is the daily purification and spiritualization of thought, and communion is finding one's conscious unity with God through prayer. (Christian Science Publishing Society, 1994).
