We are a church where prayer and love unite in healing. Besides regular monthly Metaphysical Workshops, on the fourth Monday, members opt to address specific topics in ad hoc groups. Anyone is welcome to participate. Currently, three groups have formed – one (the Love our Neighbors project) is addressing racial equality and justice in this community, another (the Climate Studies project) is addressing Global Warming and Climate Change and a third is focused on contributing written and voiced inspiration to TMC’s periodicals.

Tithing info: This Christian Science Church donates part of our collection each month to a specific local, national, or global organizations whose mission we support. Our tithing focus for December is alleviating hunger and food insecurity in our local communities where there is a growing need for assistance among our neighbors. Two wonderful organizations that have been recipients of our tithing this year need increased support at this time of year as they collect and distribute food to families throughout south Orange County. FAM (formerly Family Assistance Ministries) and CREER (Believe!) are both increasing their services to meet the growing need for food assistance for individuals and families. For more info please see their websites: https://lovefam.org/ and https://creeroc.org/
If you wish to make a financial contribution to either organization be sure to indicate this with your donation. “I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT…” Matthew 25:35
