Christian Science practitioners are individuals who are self-employed, who have completed a course in spiritual healing given by an authorized teacher of Christian Science, and who devote themselves full time to helping and healing others through prayer. While practitioners do not offer counseling, diagnosis, prognosis, or any physical manipulation or treatment, they do offer Christian Science treatment—as explained in Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Christian Science treatment is the application of spiritual principles—who and what God is and what that means for each individual—to the specifics of any given situation. These spiritual principles, applied, have a tangible effect—restored relationships, financial well-being, physical healing, and so on.

Sunday School classes are held during the Sunday service for students up to the age of twenty. In small classes the children learn of God’s love for them, and how the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible and Science and Health can help them every day in every situation. Students learn how to pray and turn to God for help. They discover how biblical teachings, such as the Ten Commandments and Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount are practical tools for guiding their lives.

Infants and small children not yet ready for Sunday School are cared for in our Children’s Room. Sunday School is held every Sunday from 10:00am to 11:00am.
Whenever and wherever a church of Christian Science is established, its pastor is the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

In 1895, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, ordained that the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, (our text book,) be the pastor of all the churches of the Christian Science denomination.

This dual and impersonal pastor, the Bible, and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," is always with you; and the Life these give, the Truth they illustrate, the Love they demonstrate, is the great Shepherd that feedeth my flock, and leadeth them “beside the still waters”.
