What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is based on the teachings of Christ Jesus. It is a Christian religion that follows the inspired word of the Bible, along with the textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. Science and Health has its sole foundation in the Bible, and elucidates the principles and guidelines found there. These two books show how God’s care and goodness can be felt in everyday life, in practical ways.
You are warmly welcome!

Every Sunday we host a one-hour service beginning at 10:00 a.m. during which a Bible Lesson presenting a specific subject is read by a First and Second Reader.
