COME WORSHIP WITH US!
Christian Science is based on the Bible, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. Jesus understood God to be Love, and he was able to heal based on this spiritual truth in a way that was systematic, logical, and understandable. Christian Scientists believe that spiritual healing—as taught by Christ Jesus—is accessible to anyone today.
