Please note that the Mayor of DC has issued Order 2021-097 – “Resumption of Mask Requirements” for public indoor spaces.

We warmly welcome you to join us for our services. We are a Christian Science church, one of the many branch churches of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts (also known as the Mother Church). Sunday Sermons consist of the reading of the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson, which contain selections from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook – Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. In addition to our Sunday service, we also hold a one-hour Wednesday evening testimony meeting, where people share their progress and healings through the practice of Christian Science and applying God’s spiritual laws to their daily lives and challenges.

Pastor

The Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, together serve as the pastor of all Christian Science churches. Sunday church services consist of readings from the Bible and Science and Health.  They are based on the oneness and allness of God, also known as Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Life, Truth, Love.

Prayer and Health – is there a connection?

Many people are looking for better health and a deeper, more meaningful way of life. Practitioner of Christian Science healing and international speaker Michelle Nanouche says, “Spirituality isn’t just a lifestyle choice. It is the basic element of true being.”

Nanouche will present an in-person lecture titled, “Finding God, Finding Health”, on Sunday, October 24th at 2:30pm at Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, located at 1238 31st Street, NW, Washington, DC 20007. Time will be allotted following the lecture for questions and answers. The event is free and sponsored by Fifth Church of Christ Scientist, Washington, DC. Parking less than a block away is available in the Hamilton Court garage, just off 31st Street – ask an usher in front of the church for directions.

At one time or another, nearly everyone has asked, “What is God, really? Is God good? Does God allow evil to happen? Can I trust God to help me in time of need?” In this talk, Nanouche will discuss a view of God that Christian Science offers: a God who is divine good and only good; that doesn’t punish His creation or send sickness and pain; a God that is knowable – completely discoverable through prayer; and how this awareness of God brings greater well-being into our lives.

Nanouche’s ideas are based on the teachings of Christ Jesus as recorded in the Bible, and as discussed in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. She will also share examples from her public healing ministry of recovery from hardship.

Michelle Nanouche trained and practiced as a Christian Science Nurse for 10 years before changing her focus from nursing care to the prayer practice of Christian Science. She brings over 35 years of professional experience to her work as a practitioner of this healing method. Since 1995, she has lectured on the subject of prayer and healing throughout the US, Europe and Africa and is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. All are welcome.
