About TMC Youth and our mission

We’re a diverse community with a shared vision: to make some spiritual noise. In a world focused on materialism, we believe our spirituality can make a big difference. This is a place to share ideas, questions, and creativity with others. Everyone is welcome.

TMC—The Mother Church—is the hub of the international Christian Science community in Boston, MA, USA. The church was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879 to further the spiritual method of healing practiced by Christ Jesus and the early Christians. Today, people of all faiths study and practice Christian Science. Eddy’s major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, has been read by millions and is available in sixteen languages and Braille.
