Church Details

If you are new to Christian Science or just new to our community, we hope you'll feel at home in our church.

Services

Sunday service begins at 10:30 a.m.

This hour of inspiration includes organ music, hymns, and the reading of the weekly Lesson Sermon. Our  pastors are the King James Version of the Bible along with Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

The teachings of Christian Science are deeply rooted in the Bible. The Sunday sermons are Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly. These Lesson-Sermons explore a special subject each week consisting of selections for the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures .

For over a century the spiritual truths of these lessons have brought healing, regeneration, and a new way of thinking tot those who have studied and demonstrated its teachings.

Wednesday Meetings
Our mid-week testimony meeting is held on Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. It consists of short readings for the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures on a timely topic. Following theses readings, members of the congregation are free to give testimonies of healing, experiences, and helpful remarks resulting from their study and application of Christian Science.

Care for infants and young children is provided during all services.

Sunday School
In a Christian Science Sunday School, young people get to now God as their ever present friend--as a source of strength, comfort, healing, guidance--at home, in school , on the playing field or wherever their need might be.

Sunday School teaching is base on the Bible and starts with the Ten Commandments, The Golden Rule, and the Sermon on the Mount. Each grade level places emphasis on knowing God and what He doe for man and how to apply this knowledge in everyday situations
