A Spiritual Resource Center

What is a Christian Science Reading Room?  It is a bookstore. It’s a place where lives can be changed. This space is open to the public offering a place to read, pray, and get inspired. It’s a space where many have been healed by studying the lessons of the Bible and nurturing a connection with God.

The staff (many of whom are volunteers) can introduce you to the rich resources available that you can purchase, enjoy while visiting, or explore online at any time. We’re also happy to answer your questions and share our own experiences with Christian Science. We’re here to help!

Open: Monday through Saturday, 12 noon – 4pm, Sunday 9 – 1pm
