First Church, Christ Scientist Grand Haven

---

As early as 1908 there was a Christian Science Reading Room in a house occupied by Thomas and Ruth Parish at 324 Washington St., but the church wasn’t officially organized in Grand Haven until October 1910 by a small group that had been meeting and studying Christian Science. Anna E.W. Andrews was credited with starting the Christian Science movement in Grand Haven. She lived from 1860-1930. By 1941 the church had its own building at 504 Clinton in Grand Haven. The original building was expanded over the years. In 2019 it was converted to a private residence by local contractor Rich Buitenhuis. 

By 2019, the church’s location was moved to its current spot at 1705 S. Beacon Blvd., Grand Haven in the Beacon Village Plaza.
