Are the healing miracles by Christ Jesus possible today? Is the Holy Bible relevant today? Is science finding the answers? IS RELIGION MEETING MODERN DAY CHALLENGES?Where can you turn for answers? We can help you! This web site gives you background on our church. Check it out and feel very welcome to send your questions to us. THE FOUNDER OF OUR CHURCH, Mary Baker Eddy discovered that, through her own personal prayer and healing answers, Christ Jesus’ healing ministry continues to be readily available for healing through prayer in today’s world. She named her discovery Christian Science and published her findings in the best selling book: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Mrs. Eddy established The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, U.S.A., provided for our impersonal Pastor and the worldwide organization of branch churches. Fifth Church, Dallas is one of these branches. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IS A CHRISTIAN FAITH based on the inspired word of the Bible with its healing answers. Its textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, provides a thorough explanation of healing through prayer as taught and demonstrated by Christ Jesus. Its cornerstones are the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus and the spirit of our religion is embodied in the following statement:
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. (Science & Health page 497)
Thus, Bible inspiration and Bible healings guide us to seek healing through prayer. And, we expect healing answers. For more information (What is Christian Science? etc) see Frequently Asked Questions.

Have Christian Scientists any religious creed?
(Quote from Science and Health pages 496 & 497)
They have not, if by that term is meant doctrinal beliefs. The following is a brief exposition of the important points, or religious tenets, of Christian Science: —
As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
