ABOUT US



Picture
  

We enthusiastically welcome everyone to our healing church services. 

This is a Christian Science church.  It is one of many world-wide branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. 

The Mother Church was founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. 

We have no ordained clergy.  Our members elect Readers to conduct our church services, but our only Pastor is the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. 


Christian Science is based squarely on the teaching and healing work of Christ Jesus. It is not a cult.  It is not to be confused with religions or doctrines such as Scientology, faith healing, positive-thinking or mind-over-matter.  Christian Science stands apart as a practical, proven Science which heals sickness and sin through the acknowledgment and demonstration of God as ever-present, divine Principle, Love. 

It is sometimes asked why the terms "Christian" and "Science" are used together.  Mrs. Eddy explains this correlation in her published writing, No and Yes:


    "The two largest words in the vocabulary of thought are 'Christian' and 'Science.'  The former is the highest style of man; the latter reveals and interprets God and man; it aggregates, amplifies, unfolds, and expresses the ALL-God.  The life of Christ is the predicate and postulate of all that I teach, and there is but one standard statement, one rule, and one Principle for all scientific truth."


We have been welcoming the public to our church services in Walnut Creek since 1913.  We have been at our present location since 1961.



This church subscribes to the following Tenets of The Mother Church:

1.  As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.

2.  We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God.  We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness.

3.  We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal.  But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.

4.  We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death.

5.  We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter.

6.  And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us;  and to be merciful, just, and pure.
