About Our Church
10:30 AM In-Person and Zoom (child care available)
At our Sunday service, you’ll find a warm greeting and join with others in opening thought and heart to inspiration from the Christian Science pastor: the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (the Christian Science textbook), by Mary Baker Eddy.
Passages from these two books make up the Christian Science weekly Bible Lesson-Sermon – the sermon in our service. Read aloud, this sermon is the same one read in every branch church of Christian Science the world over – uniting thought and inspiration in every locale and heart. Our Sunday service also includes singing hymns and silent prayer.
After the service, the in-person congregation gathers briefly to greet those who have attended on Zoom.
There are times when we have a gathering after church: a student’s graduation from Sunday School or welcoming a new church member. Our church’s cup of loving fellowship and friendship runs over.
About Our Sunday School
10:30 AM In-Person (child care available)
Children and teenagers are greeted at this vital and happy place each Sunday at the same time as our church service.
We open by singing a hymn, reading aloud a Bible selection, and praying the Lord’s Prayer. Students then break into age groups with their teacher. The foundation of lessons is the Ten Commandments, The Lord’s Prayer, and the Sermon on the Mount.
Together we explore stories and ideas from the Bible that bring out timeless lessons and how we use them in our lives today. The healing power and effect of God’s love is the heart of Sunday School.
Babies are lovingly cared for in our Children’s Room.
When our students graduate from Sunday School we encourage their continued connection to church. One of our graduates now techs our hybrid services. Another takes the collection in church.
Every child and teenager is welcomed and cherished in our Sunday School.
Wednesday Testimony Meeting
7:30 PM In-Person and Zoom
At the heart of Christian Science is the expression of gratitude for God’s healing love for all.
The Wednesday Evening Testimony Meeting is a healing service, where we sing hymns and listen to readings from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook on timely topics.
Half of the meeting time is open to sharing healings, inspiration, and experiences from the study and practice of Christian Science. The spiritual law expressed in one person’s healing can help another person see that same law at work in their experience.
Isaiah says, “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.” (Isa 43:12) Wednesday Testimony Meetings give us an opportunity to glorify God and bear witness to the fact that Christ, Truth, is healing and redeeming mankind today, just as it did in Jesus’ time.
After the service, the in-person congregation gathers briefly to greet those attending on Zoom and to share fellowship.

Our Christian Science Reading Room is open to everyone!
Here, in the same space as our church, you can explore print and online resources on the Bible and Christian Science. Magazines and books are available to purchase or borrow. We also have testimonies of healing going back to 1883, in print and online, to search and study.
We are available to respond to questions and to explore with you ways to pray for ourselves, our neighbors, and our world. Or you can read, study, think, and pray in a quiet area here.
Periodically we have gatherings to watch an online talk on Christian Science as well.
We welcome calls to arrange a visit time beyond our posted hours — 215 277-5889.
