What is Christian Science?

Christian Science is a Bible based religion, discovered in 1866, and founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy, that promotes healing of sickness and sin through prayer, as found in Christ Jesus’ ministry. To learn more about our beliefs and teachings check out our tenets.

Christian? Science?

Yes, both. Christian because it is based on the Bible, and specifically on the teachings of Christ Jesus. Science because it is based on the laws of God, which are provable and constant, as demonstrated by Christ Jesus.

Who are your pastors?

Every Christian Science church shares the same two pastors. They are the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Lesson sermons are prepared by a committee from The Mother Church and distributed through the Christian Science Publishing Society. These sermons are presented on Sundays by elected individuals within the different churches called readers. The First Reader reads from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The Second Reader reads from the Bible.

What can I expect from church services?

On Sundays, Christian Science churches around the world deliver the same lesson sermon which can be studied beforehand through The Christian Science Quarterly or the Full Text Lesson Sermon. The differences between these services are the selected: hymns, solo music, opening scriptural reading, and benediction.

On Wednesdays, the elected First Reader from each branch church prepares a service using citations from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The sermon is followed by testimonies from congregants sharing how the study of Christian Science has enlightened their understanding of God, and may include references to healings.

FROM THIS WEEK’S CHRISTIAN SCIENCE QUARTERLY BIBLE LESSON:  

Subject:  Man

Thus says the Lord God:

     “Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
     And set up My standard for the peoples;
     They shall bring your sons in their arms,
     And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;”

                                                             The Golden Text is from the New King James Version®.

Responsive Reading | Numbers 27:1 (to :), 2, 4–7; Romans 8:16, 17 (to 2nd 😉

Num. 27: 1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son
of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the
son of Joseph:
2   And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the
princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
4   Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the
brethren of our father.
5   And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.
6   And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
7   The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them
a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt
cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
Rom. 8: 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17   And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
