Sunday Services
Sunday services include readings from the Bible and the textbook of Christian Science - Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.
These selected readings (which Christian Scientists study each week) are outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly.
The service is conducted by a First and Second Reader - elected by church members.
Sunday School
The Sunday School is open to all children and young people up to the age of 20.
Foundational lessons include the Ten Commandments, Lord's Prayer, and Christ Jesus' Sermon on the Mount - all of which teach children to trust God, be obedient to His laws, love Him, and love all mankind.
Taught from the Bible and Science and Health, students learn how to pray for healing in their lives and in their communities.
Wednesday Evening Services
Topical issues address the spiritual needs of our community and the world. Members of the congregation are invited to share testimonies of healing through prayer of problems of all kinds, including health, financial, and relationship problems.

Reading Room
