Our Ministries
Aloha
We join together with Christian Science Churches around the world to practice Christianity as Jesus taught - based on our oneness with a loving God who made us in His spiritual image and likeness.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy states: "Jesus established his church and maintained his mission on a spiritual foundation of Christ-healing" (p. 136). This is the continuing world-wide mission of the Christian Science Church. ​
The Christian Science Church, also known as the Church of Christ, Scientist is a Christian denomination, with the Bible and especially Jesus' teachings at the heart and soul of its practice.
​
Our Christian Science Society of Hilo is a branch of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. We are presently a small group with strong faith, learning and growing together for the good of all mankind.
​
The way
The power of prayer lies not in faith alone but in a deeper understanding of God's divine laws that embrace humanity,
Each week we study the Christian Science Bible Lesson--putting into practice the healing laws of the Science of Christianity--and present it as our Sunday Sermon.
God is Love
The Bible says that "God is Love" (1 John 4:16), God's love is at the core of Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy (the discoverer and founder of Christian Science) wrote that "Divine love is the substance of Christian Science, the basis of its demonstration, its foundation and superstructure." Those who practice Christian Science do their best to live the bold, generous, and compassionate love that Christ Jesus laid out in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). This is the heart of its Christianity.
Why Christian Science?
Based on God as infinite Principle as well as unchanging Love, Christian Science is scientific. God loves all of us unconditionally and is the only true power and source of all good. Christian Science explains the spiritual laws of Love that Jesus relied on to heal sickness and sin. These laws are reliable and can be proven. Christian Scientists today, following Jesus' example, are demonstrating Christian healing for ourselves and others as we learn more about God's laws.
