First Church of Christ, Scientist, Kalispell, Montana is one of the world-wide branches of The Mother Church founded by Mary Baker Eddy.  This branch church was established in the early 1900’s after students of the religion came to Kalispell and started conducting church services in their homes and sharing Christian Science literature.

Our church continues today in providing numerous services for our community.  The spiritual ideas presented in all our church activities are expected to bring healing.

Located at the heart of the Flathead Valley in Northwestern Montana, our church is just 35 miles from Glacier National Park; 12 miles from Flathead Lake, the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River; and very close to top-rated golf courses and ski resorts as well as art, music, and entertainment venues.

The heart of Christian Science is Love. It’s about feeling and understanding God’s goodness. It’s based on the Bible and is explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy. It shows the practicality of better understanding God, Christ Jesus, goodness, life, sacrament, salvation, and more. Anyone can find God to be “a very present help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1).

Mary Baker Eddy, a devoted student of the Bible, discovered Christian Science in 1866 when she healed herself of injuries from a fall that had put her on her death-bed.

She wrote her primary book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and published it in 1875. She founded the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, and established her church publications – The Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, The Herald of Christian Science and her international daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor.

Supporting these foundational activities were many years of Christian healing based on her understanding of the laws of God revealed through her deep study of the Bible and of Christ Jesus’ teachings.
