Church Services

Spring Flowers and Sunday Service with First Church of Christ, Scientist, Bellingham, VA

Please note that our Sunday and Wednesday services are temporary suspended, as directed by Governor Inslee.  Click here for information, and links to listen to services at The Mother Church.

When this directive from the governor is lifted, we look forward to welcoming you at our services, as follows:

Sunday Services – 10:00 AM – One Hour
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.  – 1 Chronicles 16:29

A unique experience awaits you when you visit our Sunday service.  You’ll take away a deeper understanding of your spiritual nature, and of the same Father-Mother God who Jesus taught us will tenderly meet our every need.  Many have been healed during such services.

You will find that our Pastor is not an ordained minister, but rather the King James Bible and the textbook of our church, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. You will hear a Lesson-Sermon comprised of fresh, inspiring selections read from these books on topics such as “God the Preserver of Man” or “Truth”. Hymns and a musical solo expand on these topics.

Divine Love quote by Mary Baker EddyWednesday Meeting 7:30 PM – One Hour
“Love heals our every ill, all the law does love fulfill. Love is our answered prayer.”  – Christian Science Hymnal #179

Would you like to hear proof of God’s love for you? You will, at our Wednesday evening meeting, where people who practice Christian Science share how their study deepened their understanding of God, resulting in healings of illness, relationship problems, housing, work and other needs. The service also includes hymns, and brief readings from the Bible and Science and Health to inspire and uplift thought about challenges in our community.  You will also have the opportunity to meet and talk with other local students of Christian Science.

This Week’s Bible Lesson

Jan. 11-17: “Life.”

Golden Text:  “O sing unto the Lord a new song … Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name.” (Psalms 96:1, 8)

This Bible Lesson inspires and uplifts us, by helping us see that the God we worship is a living God, always active, always loving, guiding, protecting Her all her ideas.

“My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God; …the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.”

“God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or Soul, the only intelligence of the universe, including man.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 330:11-12)

About the Bible Lesson

The weekly Bible Lesson is read and studied daily by students of Christian Science around the world, and is read on Sundays in Christian Science churches everywhere.

Our Bellingham church has temporarily suspended Sunday services, Sunday School and Wednesday testimony meetings in order to respect Washington State’s Covid-19 guidance.  However, the Bible Lesson continues to be read and studied, bringing the healing blessings of church to our members every day.

You can read or hear it too, at this link, whenever you wish, every day.

You can also listen live and replay the Sunday church service and Wednesday testimony meeting held at The Mother Church of Christian Science, in Boston, MA.  Click here to access those services.

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.
