Church History
The First Church of Christ, Scientist, was founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Eddy in Boston, MA. One of many worldwide branch churches, this church in East Rochester was established in 1955 by students of Christian Science.
Our purpose is “…to commemorate the word and works of our Master [Christ Jesus], which should reinstate primitive Christianity and the lost element of healing.” [Church Manual, pg. 17]
