Sunday Service
Sunday Service
Our church service is held every Sunday at 10.30 am for one hour and online. We sing hymns, pray and listen to inspiring selections from the Bible and related passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Heath, with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. It is presented by two lay Readers. The service is open to all and is designed to deliver an uplifting and healing message which can be heard in any of the Christian Science churches around the world. Come to a Sunday Service to learn more about spirituality.
Wednesday Meeting
We meet every Wednesday at 8 pm for about an hour and online to listen to readings, sing and share what we are learning in Christian Science, and how we are seeing God’s law of good blessing our daily lives. The opening readings are often chosen to address issues of public concern, and are followed by a period of sharing of healings, inspiration and quiet, prayerful, reflection.
All are welcome to join us in person or online.
“…a church designed to commemorate the words and works of our Master [Christ Jesus]
which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”
Mary Baker Eddy
Sunday School
All children and young people up to the age of 20 are welcome. They learn about God’s love and Christ Jesus’ teachings in age-appropriate groups.
Learning is based on the Bible and includes the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and stories from the lives of Biblical characters.
Older students frequently like to bring questions and discuss issues relating to their daily lives. Often referring to the weekly Bible Lesson set out in the Christian Science Quarterly, they find help, inspiration and spiritual solutions.

We take safeguarding very seriously; all teachers are DBS checked, and our Safeguarding Policy is available on request.

About Christian Science
What is Christian Science?
Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, defined it as “the law of God, the law of good . . .” (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 1). Christian Science is also the scientific system of divine healing and it explains how healings in the Bible took place. It is a day-by-day spiritual discovery centred on God and love of one another.
“As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life.”
Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy
Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), is the discoverer and founder of Christian Science who took her inspiration from the Bible. She is also widely recognised as a remarkable author, teacher, religious figure and founder of a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
The author of this book, Mary Baker Eddy, intended it to be a sourcebook on practical spirituality for literally anyone. Science and Health outlines universal spiritual laws that when understood and demonstrated bring comfort and healing. First published in 1875, it continues as a best seller and as an enduring book on spirituality and healing. The last 100 pages of Science and Health contain accounts of healing brought about by reading this book.

The Church in Watford is one of the worldwide branches of The Mother Church which is in Boston, USA.
