A HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN BARRINGTON

Christian Science has been a vibrant part of the Barrington Community since early in the 20th century, offering a significant healing presence for generations of families and to the community.

The congregation originally met in the basement of what was affectionately known as the “Sheep Shed” on Wool Street, the location of our church today. Donations from grateful members of the community healed of severe illnesses funded our original church building, which opened in 1937.

Our new church edifice, Sunday School and Reading Room opened in the fall of 2020 and we lovingly welcome all in the community or visiting Barrington to all our services, our Sunday School and weekly Reading Room activities. Take a look inside!
