What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is a Bible-based Christian faith founded by Mary Baker Eddy. It is centered on the teachings and healing ministry of Christ Jesus and on the understanding that God is infinite Love, entirely good, always present, and available to everyone.
Through prayer and a growing understanding of God, individuals have experienced healing, comfort, direction, and spiritual renewal. Christian Science invites each of us to explore our relationship with God and discover how the teachings of Jesus can be lived and demonstrated today.
You are warmly invited to learn more and attend any of our services!
Who is Mary Baker Eddy?
Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, defined Christian Science as “the law of God, the law of good . . . ” (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 1). She learned that God is infinite Love, completely good, and that a clear understanding of this through prayer has power to heal and transform anyone.
Mary Baker Eddy was a lifelong student of the Bible. And she was deeply interested in finding solutions to human suffering. When she was critically injured in 1866, she turned to God with her whole heart. While reading accounts of Jesus’ swift, powerful healings, she experienced a new sense of God. She saw that God, Spirit, is the only reality, and she was completely healed. She wanted to understand what happened, so she studied the Bible and found universal and dependable laws of God. These laws are the foundation of Christian Science.
Since then, many people have been healed and redeemed as they learn about their relationship to God through this reliable Science of Christianity.
Read Mary Baker Eddy’s primary work, the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Why “Christian Science”?
Christian because Christian Science is founded on the Bible and the teachings of Christ Jesus.
Science because it recognizes the spiritual laws of God as constant, understandable, and capable of being demonstrated through healing and transformed lives.
What can I expect at a church service?
Our services are peaceful, welcoming, and open to everyone. Visitors are warmly welcomed and are never singled out or expected to participate. Our members are focused on maintaining a loving and caring atmosphere, and view every service as a healing opportunity.
Sunday Services
The Sunday sermon consists of readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Christian Science churches throughout the world study the same weekly Bible Lesson, while each local church chooses its own hymns, music, opening reading, and benediction.
Wednesday Testimony Meetings
Wednesday meetings include readings from the Bible and Science and Health, followed by a time when members of the congregation may share gratitude, spiritual insights, and experiences of healing through prayer.
Who are the pastors?
Christian Science churches have two pastors: the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
At each service, two elected members of the congregation serve as Readers. Together, they present selections from these two books, allowing the congregation to hear the sermon directly from the Scriptures and the Christian Science textbook.
