Golden Text:  “…God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (II timothy 1:7.)

This powerful Bible Lesson shows us how our safety and security, our peace and joy, are always secure in God’s love.

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed: for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”  (Isaiah 41:10)

“The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind — called devil or evil — is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality.  There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God; and if mortals claimed no other Mind and accepted no other, sin would be unknown.  We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite.  We bury the sense of infinitude when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God.”  (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 469:13.)

You can read this Bible Lesson here, or by visiting our Reading Room.

Golden Text: “…my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.” (Psalms 35:9)

This beautiful Bible Lesson “magnifies” our understanding of the nature of God, Divine Love, by considering “Soul” as a synonym for “God.”

“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.” (Psalms 34:3)

“O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens… When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalms 8: 1,3)

“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.)

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.
