What to Expect at Our Services
Christian Science church services are always open to everyone. They are conducted by Readers who have been elected by the membership.
Sunday Services
On Sundays, the sermon is the same in all Christian Science churches around the world. This sermon is known as the Bible Lesson, which is composed of a unique set of readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy that Christian Scientists study throughout the week.
Youth (up to age 20) typically prefer to attend Sunday School during the hour-long Sunday service. Small, interactive classes allow children to discover how the Bible remains practical today and how a spiritual foundation makes them stronger students, athletes, artists, and citizens. Childcare is available for infants and toddlers too young for Sunday School.
Wednesday Services
Our Wednesday meetings are different. There are readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy followed by the sharing of experiences, testimonies and remarks on Christian Science from those attending the meeting. Don't be surprised if there are moments of silence and prayer during this part of the meeting. People will share experiences of healing in their life as they feel inspired by Spirit. The other half of the meeting will be readings on a topic prepared by the First Reader.
We welcome you to find out for yourself how Christian healing is as relevant to our lives today as it was two millennia ago. Visit us at a church near you!
