Welcome to
Fourth Church

This church is one of the worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston — founded by Mary Baker Eddy on the teachings of Christ Jesus, and “designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”

We hold regular public services and provide a Reading Room open to all. Whether you are new to Christian Science or have been a student of it for many years, you are always welcome here.

“Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.”

Mary Baker Eddy · Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494
