Welcome to our Church

The Christian Science Church in Dorking (UK) is one of many worldwide branches of The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, USA.

Christian Science is a Bible-based teaching established by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879 and

“...designed to commemorate the words and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.”

Mrs Eddy sets out her discovery of the healing truths that Jesus taught and practised in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. This book was first published in 1875 and has since sold over 9 million copies.

Come on in!

We look forward to welcoming you into the warmth and simplicity of our worship services.

  • All are welcome to our services! This Christmas Eve, 24th December 2025, we’ll be holding our usual Wednesday Testimony Meeting (with some carol hymns) earlier in the day at 11am. There’ll also be texts from the Bible, readings from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and lots of time for people to share what they are spiritually grateful for as a result of prayer.
  • We’d love to see you at any of our Services, for a Sunday School session, or step into the Reading Room to browse. The Reading Room is also a place where anyone can come in to take a few minutes in their busy day to quietly meditate or pray. There are also books on sale, including a wonderful selection of Bibles, to help us all as we approach our daily lives prayerfully.
  • There is limited free parking in Moores Road, in the car park of the nursery opposite the church, and at Dorking Halls at the times of our Sunday Service and Wednesday Testimony Meeting. Charges or parking restrictions apply at other times. You will find us at 1 Moores Road, Dorking, RH4 2BG. See the Contact Us page for location.
