The First Church of Christ, Scientist, at the corner of Chester Street and Willits, provides Birmingham residents with a place for retreat and worship. The church offers Sunday School classes for young people up to the age of 20, in which students learn from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. A weekly testimonial meeting is also held every Wednesday from 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
The church also runs the Christian Science Reading Room, on West Maple.
