Christian Science Society, Plantation, formerly known as First Church of Christ, Scientist, Plantation, FL, was organized in May 1962. It is a branch of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts www.ChristianScience.com.
Our pastor is a dual pastor: the Holy Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. Readers elected by the church membership conduct the church services.
“Ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free." -Christ Jesus

“Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
-Mary Baker Eddy
SERVICES
SUNDAY SERVICE
The 10:30 am Sunday morning service includes congregational hymn singing, a solo, prayer, scripture reading and responsive reading, and the Bible Lesson Sermon. The weekly Bible Lesson Sermon consists of selections from the Holy Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. It is read by a First Reader and a Second Reader which are lay people elected by the church members. Christian Science churches do not have a personal pastor, but rather a “dual pastor” consisting of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook. The same Bible Lesson Sermon is read in Christian Science churches around the world each Sunday and is studied by Christian Scientists throughout the preceding week. There are 26 Bible Lesson Sermon subjects that were designated by Mary Baker Eddy, which are repeated twice each year.

READING ROOM
We have a mini-Reading Room in the church foyer where the Holy Bible, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and authorized Christian Science literature and CD’s can be purchased after the church services. Reading Room items may also be ordered directly from the Christian Science Publishing Society through this link: https://christianscience.buysub.com/.
Christian Science Reading Rooms are a combination bookstore, library and quiet place to read, study and pray. While we currently don’t have a Reading Room that offers these options, there are Christian Science Reading Rooms nearby in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and the Miami area. A directory of Reading Rooms is in each issue of the Christian Science Journal and online at https://www.christianscience.com/find-us/find-a-reading-room.

TENETS OF 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.
