Testimonial meetings are open for all to attend. There is music and singing, inspirational readings, and you’ll also hear fellow attendees share insights, experiences, and healing they’ve had as a result of their prayer and study of Christian Science.  Click here a video example of what you might hear at a Christian Science Testimonial meeting.

Drew Stiles formed and joined bands as writer, singer and bassist-guitarist starting in the early 90’s after seeing Bad Brains, Fishbone, Meat Puppets, RHCP, Black Flag, Beastie Boys and others in the 80s punk scene. The honesty of rap, NWA, PE, Ice Cube, etc, heavily factored in, along with early influences Jackson 5, Beatles, Hendrix, Earth Wind and Fire, Zeppelin, Stones, James Brown, jazz, classical, funk, pop, etc.

He landed a major label deal (A&M Records) and a production deal (Shark Management) with bands Gin Gypsy and Smoothbrain. Stiles then formed the raw power trio, Yummy, who released an album on indie label Cross Records.

YUMMY:

Yummy’s album, ‘Eleganté,’ produced and written by Stiles, garnered outstanding reviews and fan response. JUICEMagazine gave the band a rating of ‘10 out of 10,’ Rock N World wrote ‘Not since Guns N Roses have I heard a more dynamic debut album.’ And of Yummy’s performances The Jersey Journal wrote,’ Drew Stiles is part Iggy andpart Steven Tyler, a consummate showman who knows how to work an audience into a laughing, sweating frenzy.’
