Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.
Whether you’re exploring Christian Science for the first time or looking for a church home, there’s a place for you here at First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Madison.
Sunday Services
- Time: 10:00 AM
- Duration: Approximately one hour
- Format: Centered on the weekly Bible Lesson, with readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, hymns, organ music, and quiet prayer together.
A warm welcome and time to connect with the congregation follow each service.
Childcare & Sunday School
Every Sunday at 10:00 AM, children and teens up to age 20 are invited to Sunday School, with childcare available for younger children. Classes include hymns, prayer, and age-appropriate study of the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, encouraging students to explore how spiritual ideas apply to everyday life.
Classes meet on the lower level, reached by stairs. The classroom is reserved for students and teachers, so parents are free to attend the service upstairs. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning, your family is always welcome.
Wednesday Testimony Meetings
- Time: 7:30 PM
- Duration: Approximately one hour
- Format: Includes hymns, prayer, scriptural readings, and readings from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
Sharing is optional; most visitors simply listen.
We Expect Healing
We believe God’s healing power is active and present today. On Sundays, the readings from the Bible and Science and Health, the hymns, and our quiet prayer together are all an opportunity to feel that healing presence for yourself.
On Wednesdays, anyone who wishes may share healings, gratitude, or comments with the group. Sharing is always a choice, never an expectation, and you don’t need to be a member to share, in-person or online.
Your First Visit
Getting Here
We’re on the southwest corner of Segoe Road and Tokay Boulevard, on Madison’s west side. Park in our lot right at the church, use our bike rack, or take Madison Metro to the Segoe/Tokay stop. Get directions.
Coming In
An usher will be at the door to greet you. From the parking lot, the front entrance is step-free, and our main auditorium is right on the first floor.
What to Wear
Come as you are! Our members dress in a range of styles, from casual to business casual.
What to Bring
Nothing at all. On Sundays, we’ll hand you a copy of the Christian Science Quarterly, which lists the readings for that week’s Bible Lesson, so you can follow along if you’d like.
During & After the Service
Feel free to simply listen, or join in singing the hymns. A collection is taken on Sundays; giving is entirely optional. Afterward, stay and connect. We’ll be glad to answer any questions.
Can’t Make It in Person?
Both our Sunday service and Wednesday meeting are broadcast on Zoom, and you’re welcome to simply listen. See how to join.
