Welcome to First Church!

Our church is open for in-person services on Sundays and Wednesdays. Our services are held with the expectation of healing and progress.

On Sundays at 10:30 am, we read the Christian Science Bible Lesson sermon and offer Sunday School classes for youth.

Each Wednesday at 7:30 pm, we hold an evening testimony meeting with readings from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You are also invited to share experiences, testimonies, and remarks on Christian Science.

We are located at:
910 16th St NW (also known as 910 Black Lives Matter Plaza)
Washington, DC, 20006

If you need to attend online, please email clerk@firstchurchdc.org for the Zoom link.


Our members are Christian Scientists, and we’re a branch of The Mother Church – known as The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, MA.

As Christian Scientists, we base our spiritual practices on the Bible (both Old and New Testaments), using the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy as our key to understanding the Bible. We do our best to follow the teachings of Jesus, not only in overcoming sin but also in healing disease through spiritual means, as he taught.

Our members are musicians, government relations professionals, professors, fundraisers, students, graphic designers, consultants, community activists, journalists and much more. We’ve come together at First Church, Washington DC, to bring a spiritual perspective and healing presence to the heart of the city. We hope you’ll join us!

The church welcomes online or in-person donations. Thank you for your support!
