What do we believe in?

One, infinite God who is All, and all-good. God is not distant and unknowable, but all-encompassing and always present.  Each individual is loved by God, cared for by Him, and made in God’s image - spiritual, not material.

We believe in the Bible and Christ Jesus as the Son of God, or promised Messiah.  Jesus’ teachings and healing work expressed the application of the laws of God, laws which are still practical and provable today, by anyone, anywhere.  The Commandments, as well as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, is central to our lives and our practice of Christianity.

We believe in the healing power of God’s love - that no one is beyond redemption, no problem is too entrenched or overwhelming to be addressed and healed.  In other words, we don’t believe that salvation occurs at some point in the future, but that the presence of God’s goodness can be experienced here and now - and by everyone.

Important points in Christian Science
  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.
