About Us
Who we are and how we can help you learn more about Christian Science.
Our church is one of the many world-wide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1960 our church has been serving the Richardson community for over sixty years.
What is Christian Science?
We would love for you to join us for church and explore the practical Christianity of Christian Science - the understanding of God’s laws that Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated.
Sunday Worship Service
We are a casual, come-as-you-are church, welcoming everyone to our services. We currently have both in-person and online options for attending.
Our Sunday services include music, singing, scriptural readings, prayer, and a sermon. The sermon is based on a weekly Bible lesson from our Pastor - the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by the discoverer of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy.
As a church of lay people, we elect two individuals from our membership to conduct the service.
At the same time as church, we conduct Sunday School classes for children up to the age of 20. We also have childcare for those too young for Sunday School.
After the service everyone is invited for fellowship in the Sunday School/Fellowship room for refreshments.
Online Spanish services are available on the first Sunday of each month. Click below.
Wednesday Testimony Meeting
The Wednesday evening meeting is an encouraging message to the world that spiritual transformation and Christian healing are alive and well. It’s also a supportive meeting for those attending to hear remarks of gratitude and spiritual inspiration as well as accounts of Christian healing by fellow members and attendees.
During the meeting we hear readings from the Bible and Science and Health that address current world and community issues. Everyone attending in person or remotely is invited to share how they have been blessed by the teachings of Christian Science.
Childcare is available for children too young to attend the Wednesday meetings.
Sunday School
We welcome all youth up to age 20 to attend our Sunday School, which is held at the same time as our Sunday morning church service.
It has been said that Sunday School is the most important school on earth. We believe this to be true. A spiritual education has far-reaching value for children, inspiring and encouraging their spiritual growth, life purpose and happiness. Our focus for this spiritual approach is the Bible. Our dedicated teachers nurture in their students an understanding of God as Love, always cherishing and caring for them. Students learn that the positive, spiritually inspired ideas they learn and treasure result in harmonious outcomes in their lives.
Our classes are adapted to the understanding of the students. The younger classes are taught Bible stories, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Sermon on the Mount. The older classes continue their Bible study while learning how prayer is a practical way to see and feel the presence of God in their lives. The Christian Science Bible Lessons, consisting of passages from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by the discoverer of Christian Science, provide the basis for instruction in these classes.
We’d love for you to bring your children to our Sunday School.
Christian Science Reading Room
Our church maintains a Christian Science Reading Room at the SE corner of Coit and Campbell. It is open Monday - Friday from 10-3 and Saturday from 11-3.
If you have questions about Christian Science, or would like to obtain a copy of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, this is the place to come during the week. The Reading Room is stocked with the latest Christian Science publications, magazines and The Christian Science Monitor as well as Bibles and Bible reference books. All can be read in house or purchased. Knowledgeable staff are always available to answer your questions and introduce you to the resources available to further your spiritual study.
The Reading Room is also a spiritual oasis for quiet prayer and spiritual refreshment.
