List of former Christian Science churches, societies and buildings

This is a list of former Christian Science churches, societies, and buildings. Following its early meteoric rise, the Christian Science Church suffered a steep decline in membership in the second half of the twentieth century. Though the Church is prohibited by the Manual of The Mother Church from publishing membership figures, the number of branch churches in the United States has fallen steadily since World War II. A 1992 study of the Christian Research Journal found that church membership had fallen from 269,000 in the 1930s to about 150,000.[1] Some believe membership has fallen further since then, however current estimates for church membership vary widely, from under 100,000 to 600,000.[2]

The former First Church of Christ, Scientist (Rock Island, Illinois)

Dr. Stephen Barrett has reported that since 1971, the number of practitioners and teachers listed in the Christian Science Journal has fallen from about 5,000 to about 1,160 and the number of churches has fallen from about 1,800 to about 1,000.[3]

The purpose of this list is to identify and quantify this decline in Christian Science institutions and those related to Christian Science, as well as catalog the buildings and spaces once used by the Christian Science Church. While it is impossible to get accurate membership figures, it is possible to determine the decline in institutions through official church publications and other sources.

50°49′18″N 0°22′25″W / 50.8216°N 0.3735°W / 50.8216; -0.3735 		In religious use The church was designed in 1939 by Brundrit and Stewart[209] and was formally registered accordingly in 1958.[210] A hall had been built on the site on Broadwater Road in 1921, succeeding a hired hall in the town centre which had been used since 1910;[211] the new hall was registered for worship in 1923 when the congregation had the status of a Christian Science Society.[212] The church, an Art Deco-style brick building, remained in Christian Scientist use until its closure in 1987, after which it was sold to an Evangelical congregation which by 1998 was known as Broadwater Christian Fellowship[211] but which became known as River of Life Church in September 2003.[213]

Houses were planned for the site, but in 2013 permission was granted for the construction of a Kingdom Hall for Jehovah's Witnesses.[217][218]

Missing churches in all countries

edit

Note: Following the custom of early New England Congregational and Baptist churches, Churches of Christ, Scientist, in a city or town are numbered First, Second, Third, etc. Societies are not numbered, however. Since all churches and societies are listed in the monthly Christian Science Journal, it is possible to determine the numbers of most but not all missing churches. For example, if a city has listings for only second and fourth churches, at least the first and third are missing. As merged churches take the name of the older congregation, first could then be assumed to have dissolved, while third might have dissolved or merged with second. Fifth may have merged, dissolved, or never existed.
