Wednesday Testimony Meetings provide an opportunity for inspiration as attendees are invited to share gratitude for blessings received or healing brought about through Christian Science practice. Selections from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures are followed by the Lord’s Prayer. Then attendees have an opportunity to give gratitude for blessings and share testimonies of healing.

In Christian Science we don't have a pastor in the typical sense. Church of Christ, Scientist has just one universal, permanent Pastor. 

Our current readers, Jim Halferty & Beate Hathaway

Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, wanted her Church’s Pastor to be as pure, constant, and powerful as God’s Word itself. To this end, in 1895 she ordained as Pastor both the Bible and her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which opens up the Bible in its application to all human needs. Together, these two books are a mentor, spiritual resource, and timeless guide open to all—a Pastor for the world.

Because of its timeless spiritual message, the Pastor is a powerful preacher at all Christian Science worship services. On Sundays, the same weekly Bible Lesson-Sermon of passages from these books is presented by Readers across the world.

Sunday School

Sunday School is a time where preschoolers, children, and teens can feel totally supported and loved! At Sunday School, students learn that God is all-loving and ever-present – and that He is always caring for and guiding us. Students learn how the Bible, and the teachings of Christ Jesus, are relevant in their own lives. And they learn how to pray – and how to heal.
