Sunday morning worship
10:00 a.m. online or by phone

It's a time for reflection, renewal and healing. If you're attending for the first time you will recognize familiar elements - hymns, prayer, readings from the Bible, a warm sense of fellowship.

A unique feature is that we don’t have personal preachers or pastors conducting the services. Our Pastor is the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the textbook of Christian Science. On Sundays, two lay readers conduct services that are based on weekly Bible Lessons that are studied by Christian Scientists throughout the world.

There is a simplicity to the services that is very much in keeping with the earliest Christian gatherings where love and healing were at the heart of worship. See the tenets of Christian Science.

Sunday School

Sunday School is currently holding virtual classes for teens and young children either by call-in or online.

Wednesday testimony meetings
7:30 p.m. online or by phone

On Wednesday evenings we gather for an informal mid-week meeting with inspiring readings and hymns. A portion of the meeting is always set aside for people to give thanks for blessings and healing experiences that have resulted from prayer and their study of Christian Science.

The readings are posted on our website each week.

Meet our Pastor

Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, introduced a revolutionary form of Christian worship over a hundred years ago. She abandoned personal preaching and ordained the Bible and her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, as pastor of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston and each of its branch churches around the world.

We love knowing that our “pastor” is available 24/7, and we turn to our pastor as we study a Bible Lesson each week that consists of references from the Bible and Science and Health. See articles related to this week's Bible Lesson.
