Practitioners at CLF
Licensed professional Religious Science Practitioners live, demonstrate and practice Spiritual Truth, meaning they know all life is an expression of God and therefore must be Love, Peace, Joy, Order, Harmony, Abundance, etc. regardless of appearances. CLF grants the license to practice as a "Practitioner of Religious Science" after students complete five years of rigorous spiritual coursework and actively demonstrate their spiritual convictions of the Science of Mind Principles.
The Power of a Practitioner Session
Whatever life experience you may be having, CLF’s Practitioners are here for YOU. Dedicated to revealing your Oneness in God and seeing beyond any condition, Practitioners, help the individual realize and reveal the wholeness and perfection of their being by aligning in Truth through Spiritual Mind Treatment (Affirmative Prayer).
A session with a Practitioner offers you the following opportunities to:
-
Open a space within for healing and revealing of the Truth
-
Shed the Light of God on all areas of your life
-
Uncover limiting beliefs and replace them with statements of Truth
-
Unleash your vision and incubate your dreams into manifestation
When to See a Practitioner
Although many visit a Practitioner when faced with a specific challenge, a one-on-one session is effective for all who are ready to accept more good in their lives and live in closer communion with the God of their being. Practitioners are available by appointment for paid one-hour sessions. Please see the directory of Practitioners below for contact information or connect with the CLF office at 602-906-4080.
The Ministry of Prayer
Written prayer requests may be submitted to the Ministry of Prayer at any time. You can email your prayer request to prayer@creativelivingfellowship.com. A Practitioner will do Spiritual Mind Treatment for your request for 30 days. This is a service that the Practitioners lovingly gift to the CLF community, and they are open to receiving love offerings. If you are called to make a love offering, feel free to leave it with the prayer request.

Rev. Mary Jayne Hyde, RScP
Rev Mary Jayne Hyde was a part of the group of Religious Scientist who started Creative Living Fellowship in the 1990s. After completing the Science of Mind Foundational Courses in the early 1990’s, Mary Jayne felt the calling to become a Practitioner however, she also understood she had personal internal work to do, before she could step into that role. After waiting for the first Practitioner class to get started, she attended the classes and became a professional Religious Science Practitioner in 2001. Over the years, Mary Jayne served on many CLF Boards and served in many capacities to further the work of CLF.
As a Practitioner, Mary Jayne enjoys teaching, leading book study groups that expand the knowledge and awareness of Religious Science principles. She believes that increased knowledge can become greater self-awareness and that becomes an opportunity to become more of what and who we truly are. She says she has always known that everyone is a Gift and all individuals innately have gifts to share. She further believes that this Is learned through studying the teachings of Ernest Holmes and her part is to assist in revealing the Gift that each individual already is.
