About Christian Science
From ChristianScience.com: Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, defined Christian Science as “the law of God, the law of good . . . ” (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 1). She’d learned that God is infinite Love, and completely good. A clear glimpse of this through prayer has power to heal and transform anyone.
Mary Baker Eddy was a lifelong student of the Bible. And she’d always wanted to find solutions to human suffering. When she was critically injured in 1866, she turned to God with her whole heart. While reading accounts of Jesus’ swift, powerful healings, she experienced a new sense of God. She saw that God, Spirit, is the only reality. And she was completely healed. She wanted to understand what happened, so she studied the Bible and found universal and dependable laws of God. These laws are the foundation of Christian Science.
Since then many people have been healed and redeemed as they learn about their relationship to God through this reliable Science of Christianity.

The organization was recognized as a Branch Church in June 1938.
From 1931 to 1952, First Church of Christ, Scientist, Hinsdale held its services in the Monroe School auditorium. In 1947, the Church purchased its property at the corner of First and Oak Streets, and ground was broken on August 28, 1950 for our beautiful church edifice. The first services were held in our Church home on March 30, 1952, and dedicatory services were held on July 20, 1952.
