Christian Science is a Bible-based teaching established by Mary Baker Eddy
“...to commemorate the words and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) discovered and founded Christian Science.
Raised in a Puritan home, she loved and studied the Bible throughout her life. Often ill growing up, she experimented unsuccessfully with multiple healthcare systems. A turning point occurred in 1866 when she had a severe fall. After three days her health was not improving, so she asked for her Bible and became completely well after reading two of Jesus’ healings. Throughout her life she’d been able to heal others, but now she began to understand the science behind the activity. Often asked how she was able to heal, Eddy explained and documented it in her primary work, Science and Health, and named her discovery Christian Science.
Eddy became a public speaker, teacher, and best-selling author. She founded a college for teaching Christian Science healing, an international church, and multiple publications, including the award-winning newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor.

Just an hour every week where young children through to teenagers can explore
