Information about Christian Science

Christian Science is a healing religion discovered by Mary Baker Eddy in the latter part of the 19th century. Through consecrated, lifelong study of the Bible, she realized that the healings that Jesus, Christ demonstrated, taught and practiced in his lifetime were scientific precepts (divine principles) that are universally applicable both before and after his time and continue to be effective today. She explained these rules in her textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures so that we may all use and practice these healing methods in our daily lives.

Our Berkeley churches are part of the many worldwide branches of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Mother Church website christianscience.com contains detailed information on Christian Science, including online articles, podcasts and lectures of healing, purchasable copies of our textbooks and periodicals, lists of Christian Science practitioners who are professionally available for healing assistance, online church services and much more.
