What are Sunday Services like?
Sundays from 11am – 12pm
Our services are composed of music, prayer, and our Lesson-Sermon, made up of readings from the Bible (KJV) and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. These two books serve as our Pastor. Two Readers elected by our members conduct the service.
All are welcome

Christian Science hymns are found in two volumes: Christian Science Hymnal (1932) and Christian Science Hymnal: Hymns 430-603 (2017).
These hymnals include many beloved Christian hymns, as well as the musical settings of seven poems by Mary Baker Eddy, who was a life-long poet and a great lover of music. Valued for their poetic eloquence and powerful spiritual understanding, these hymns are a unique source of comfort and uplift.
Offering a wide selection of texts and music appropriate for any congregation, and featuring tunes drawn from around the globe, the Christian Science Hymnal is a treasury of rich, healing resources.
The Christian Science Hymnal is also available in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
