Welcome to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bellingham, WA

Have you ever wondered if there really is a God, one who is willing or able to play a role in your life?

You can find the answers you yearn for, and the loving, caring God that Christ Jesus called "Father."  Christian Science shows that feeling the peace of God's loving, all-powerful presence is possible now. It shows us that the understanding of God that heals all our challenges is not a secret recipe available only in Biblical times, but a demonstrable science that all can practice and use in daily life.

Our church is one of the many worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, established in Boston, Massachusetts in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy.
