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!

By conscious, persistent effort we can acquire the habit of having our thoughts and feelings turn to God and to the right perception and active knowing and loving of His creation; and the time soon comes when this no longer calls for effort, but our thoughts and feelings run naturally in such channels.

Inasmuch as I am God’s child, spiritual, and not material, I must be perfect. I am whole; I am free; I have all I need every hour. I am without fear, without anxiety; I live in Spirit, not in matter, (error); I am not in danger; no one can harm me or deprive me of any good. I know no such thing as pain, suffering or disease for I am a reflection of Life, Truth, and Love.

Whether our thoughts and deeds are truly for the glory of God, or whether they are in part the outcome of human will and desire, depends wholly upon the spirituality of our thinking. All material beliefs exalt matter. Every spiritual manifestation exalts God. The question, “Does this glorify God?” tests everything we think and everything we set about doing.

“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.”

It is an easy thing to think that an abundance of good might come in the future, but it is rather hard to understand the fact that good is at hand now. But if I can receive a certain good next week or next year, I have been receiving the same good for a thousand years.
