What is Christian Science?
Christian Science is based on the teachings of 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!
SUNDAY SERVICES:
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.

We offer Sunday School for children and young people up to the age of 20. Sunday School pupils learn fundamental truths from the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer,
and Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
WEDNESDAY TESTIMONY MEETINGS:
At these meetings you will hear a short topical reading

READING ROOM:
On Thursdays and Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., our church edifice doubles as a Reading Room. Reading Rooms are a peaceful place for everyone to come in and read, pray and take a few quiet moments to recharge. In our Reading Room, you will be able to study and/or purchase the Holy Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and various other Christian Science literature.
