We are a world-wide congregation united by the desire to love and know God better so we each may live as the individual He created us to be. We study both The Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, striving to put the Word of God into practice. We warmly welcome you to our website!

“Adam, where art thou?” is answered no longer in materiality; in flesh and blood; in sin, sickness, poverty, and death; in hatred, envy, lust, and jealousy; in terror and fear, but in the eternal knowledge that the first Adam was a mesmeric dream, nothingness, and the last Adam is a living consciousness of good.

The fact is, that before we can learn much of the saving truth, we must be willing and ready to discard, as having no truth, reliability, or permanent value, all of that habit of thought and all of our so-called knowledge which is directly or indirectly based on the body or the testimony of the senses.

“Give all your attention to the moral and spiritual status of the race. God alone is capable of government; you are not, I am not, but God has governed through His anointed and appointed one in the way of divine Science; - not politics, nor the making or breaking of national laws or institutions. He, God, alone is capable of this.” — Mary Baker Eddy

“To successfully treat children, cut off the parent thought. Man is the offspring of God, not man. The material birth is but the false conception. Realize that matter cannot transmit good or evil. It is inert, unintelligent, and cannot be the medium of intelligence. ... Detach the thought of the child from the parent and the germs of erroneous seed of the parent thought will cease to impress the child.”

To be tempted is no sin. The sin is in yielding to temptation, believing the suggestions of error as true and acting accordingly. Yielding to sin robs man of the ever-presence and omnipotence of good. Resisting temptation increases power and strength. As you are being tried and tempted, just remember the joy and satisfaction of doing right.

Evil or error or belief is not something, but is always nothing. It is not something that one fights or rejects or ejects. If we have something that we must reject or struggle to eject, we are making a reality of it. It is incorrect, not to say foolish, to imagine all sorts of evil, and then to proceed to work against the creations of our own imagination!
