First Church of Christ, Scientist Boise Idaho, is a branch of the Mother Church in Boston, MA. Our church was founded on the teachings of Christ Jesus and the spiritual interpretation of the Bible through Christian Science, as discovered by Mary Baker Eddy.
The term Christian Science refers to the universal, practical system of spiritual, prayer-based healing, available and accessible to everyone. Christian Science, which is practiced by people of all faiths, is fully explained in Eddys primary text on spirituality and healing, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
Christian Science enables us to understand our relationship to a loving God and our relationship to each other. This understanding improves our lives, our communities and the world.
Basic ideas include:
God is divine Love, Father-Mother, supreme.
The true nature of each individual as a child of God is spiritual.
Gods infinite goodness, realized in prayer, heals.
Membership in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, or any branch church is not a prerequisite for the practice of Christian Science.
