Reading Through The Christian Science Textbook
We have a regular Reading Room project for a group read-through of the Christian Science Textbook: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can join us in person or online. This takes place every other week on a Tuesday at 12 noon. If you would like to attend, or would like further information, please contact us using the form below.
Reading The Weekly Bible Lesson
Every Friday morning at 10:30am, a group gets together on a Zoom call to read the week’s Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly.
Two books are central to Christian Science. The first important point, or religious tenet, of Christian Science is:
As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.
Our textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, contains the complete Science of Mind-healing, and helps us understand the Bible.
These two books are our only Pastor.

Publications
Find comfort, a fresh perspective, and healing by exploring the Christian Science Sentinel. Mary Baker Eddy established the Sentinel in 1898, as a weekly magazine with the purpose to “hold guard over Truth, Life, and Love.” The Sentinel prepares its readers to prayerfully respond to individual and global challenges.
The Christian Science Journal has been published since April 1883, “to put on record the divine Science of Truth” (Mary Baker Eddy). The Journal contains in-depth articles and reports of healing along with a directory of Christian Science resources and contacts worldwide.
