Welcome to the Christian Science Society, Moscow, Idaho!
We are a branch of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston. Founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, its purpose is "to reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing." Our church is one among thousands dedicated to this purpose, located in approximately 75 countries around the world.
A free community lecture is being sponsored by the Christian Science Society, Moscow, Idaho on Friday, May 16 at the 1912 Center, located at 206 East Third St., Moscow. The lecture will cover prayer as practical means of conquering fear and resolving conflict and universal spiritual laws for unity and healing. The lecturer is Ryder Stevens, a Christian Science practitioner from the Christian Science Board of Lectureship who speaks nationally on the power of prayer to heal, restore, and regenerate.
Our concept of Church
"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands... " (Acts 17:24)
"...ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (II Corinthians 6:16)
"Church: The structure of Truth and Love...that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas ...casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick." (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures)
Our tenets
"As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life. We acknowledge and admire 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. 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." (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures)
Our Pastor
The Bible and the Christian Science textbook (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures) serve as our Pastor, rather than an individual. Each week of the year, a main subject is designated for daily study, consisting of selections from the Bible and correlative passages from Science and Health. These reading constitute our Sunday sermon.
