Make a difference

There are many ways to get involved with Adventure Unlimited. Giving of your time, talent and love are fun and rewarding experiences. The biggest benefit is being a part of our programs and witnessing the development and triumphs of fellow Christian Scientists. The support of volunteers is very important to Adventure Unlimited and critical to the success of our programs.

It was such a pleasure to join the event as a practitioner. Seeing the youth of our movement growing together in their understanding of Christian Science and exploring their precious relationship to God is indescribable. What a joy it is seeing Christian Science in action!
