About Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, Toronto

The members of Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, Toronto welcome you! Our church is a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts founded by Mary Baker Eddy.

Mary Baker Eddy spent many years searching for practical, permanent solutions to the many challenges in her life. She discovered a method of spiritual healing that enabled her to triumph over obstacles such as divorce, homelessness, poverty, family rejection, and chronic poor health.

Mrs. Eddy devoted her life to sharing this scientific, spiritual system of healing with others. In addition to healing thousands, teaching others to heal, and giving public talks, she wrote and published many books and articles explaining her revolutionary ideas.

Our one-hour Sunday church services start at 10:30 a.m. The sermon is made up of selections from the Bible (King James Version) and the Christian Science textbook,Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science. Together these two books are the pastor for Churches of Christ, Scientist, worldwide. This pastor speaks in a way that is relevant to all ages and cultures.

During our Sunday church service, children too young for Sunday School are lovingly cared for in our nursery.

You, your family and friends are welcome to attend!
