What is Christian Science?

 

Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and

founded Christian Science, defined it as “the

law of God, the law of good...” (Rudimental

Divine Science). This deeper understanding

of God as infinite Love and unchanging

goodness leads to prayer that can heal,

redeem, and restore anyone.

The Bible

Christian Scientists study and take the inspired word of the Bible. The New Testament and Old Testament are both read during our Sunday and Wednesday meetings.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

Mary Baker Eddy wrote Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures in the later 1800's. After a life-threatening injury, she turned to the Bible, understood the spiritual inspiration from a story of Jesus healing a man who could not walk, and she was immediately healed herself.


From that point on, she spent time researching the Bible. During these years, she discovered Christian Science and wrote Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. This book has brought healing to thousands of people, and helps us unlock the meaning of the Bible and Jesus' teachings.

The Christian Science Pastor

Unique to many churches, our pastor is not a person- but is instead two books. The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are read together at every single Christian Science church service. Every week, two elected readers will read a new lesson sermon from these books. All over the world, at every Christian Science church,                the pastor is the same.
