CHURCH SERVICE

Sunday Service 

10:00 am


You are warmly invited to attend our Sunday morning church service from 10-11 am. Our sermon is based on a weekly Bible Lesson, an essential element of The Church of Christ, Scientist, whose purpose is "healing and saving the world from sin and death" (Mary Baker Eddy, Manual of The Mother Church, p. 19). The citations are from the King James Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. This healing service also includes the Lord’s Prayer, music, a vocal solo, and hymns.

Prelude begins 10 minutes before the service.

WEDNESDAY EVENING SERVICE

7:00 pm


The meeting includes short readings from the King James Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy on a healing topic. The remainder of the meeting is for the sharing of testimonies of healing and spiritual insights from the study of Christian Science. The meeting also includes prayer and hymns. 


Prelude begins 10 minutes before the service.

What We Believe

Tenets of Christian Science


  1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.

  2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness.

  3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.

  4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death.

  5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter.

  6. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.   



From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 497:3–27

Founder and Discoverer of Christian Science

Meet Mary Baker Eddy

Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was a spiritual pioneer. Her work covered the disciplines of science, theology, and medicine.

She studied the Bible her whole life. In 1866, she experienced a dramatic recovery from a life-threatening accident after reading one of Jesus’ healings. From that moment, she wanted to know how she had been healed. She read the Bible and prayed for answers. It became clear to her that spiritual healing was based on divine laws of God, Spirit. She proved that these laws could be applied by anyone to heal every form of human suffering and sin.  Learn more about Mary Baker Eddy by Visiting The Mother Church Website or the links below.
