Tenacre

Tenacre is a Christian Science nursing ministry expressing God, Love—our mission is to heal.

Our current Christian Science nursing ministries include:

• Christian Science Nursing
  • Christian Science nursing
  • Haven for Healing
  • Christian Science Nursing Homecare
• Residential living
  • Progressive Living
  • Christian-Scientists-in-Residence

We provide Christian Science nursing support according to the need of each individual. Around-the-clock Christian Science nursing care is available in our settings (buildings) on campus. In addition, our Haven for Healing program provides a homelike setting where those seeking healing can study and receive Christian Science nursing support. Individuals in the Haven for Healing program typically stay at Tenacre for up to three weeks.

Christian Science Nursing Homecare provides tender, practical Christian Science nursing care within the comfort of your own home. We travel to those who need our support in our immediate area and neighboring states.

Our newest program, Progressive Living, gives Christian Scientists who need light assistance the opportunity to live in a Christian Science community where they can continue to express spiritual progress while contributing to our community.

Tenacre’s School of Christian Science Nursing offers workshops and courses on Christian Science nursing throughout the year to members of The Mother Church. Participants learn how metaphysical ideas find expression in gentle, comforting, and practical ways to assist individuals in their homes, in Christian Science nursing facilities, and in the field.

• “Christian Science Nurse”: A Manual By-Law for Every Member
  This workshop is available on a regular basis and by request for groups of church members

Our Background

Tenacre Foundation is located on 100 acres in Princeton, New Jersey, midway between New York City and Philadelphia.

Our healing mission began in the 1920s when founders George and Kathryn Barmore, both Christian Science practitioners, opened their home to their patients and friends relying on God for healing, as taught in Christian Science.

Tenacre became a not-for-profit in 1935 and recently became an exempt operating foundation as well.
