It's a time for reflection, spiritual regeneration 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. There is a simplicity to the services that is in keeping with the earliest Christian gatherings where love and healing were at the heart of worship.

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

Written testimonies, to be read in church, may be submitted to clerklagunabeachcs@gmail.com at any time prior to the meeting.

Child care: Available for infants and little ones who are too young for Sunday School.

 

Meet our Pastor and our Readers

 Our "Pastor"

 

Russ Gerber, C.S.B.
First Reader

 

Genee Hansen
Second Reader

 

A unique feature of Christian Science church services is that we don’t have personal preachers.  On Sundays, two lay readers, elected by church members, conduct services by reading passages from the Bible and related passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.  These two books are the ordained Pastor of our denomination. Learn more.

 

Weekly Bible Lessons -- At the heart of Christian Science practice

Students of Christian Science read and study a weekly Bible Lesson that is available for study or purchase at our Reading Room. You may also  subscribe to it online.

The lessons consist of passages taken from the Bible and accompanying passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.  These form the basis of our Sunday church services. 

The Bible Lesson is published in the Christian Science Quarterly, which is available in various formats and languages to suit your study preferences.
