Christian Science Reading Room is part of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family of churches in The American Church Story. 232 congregations of the Restorationist (Stone-Campbell) family gather across North Carolina — 9,607 across the United States on The Church Map.
The Stone-Campbell churches asked American Christians to put down their party names and be simply Christians, and they meant it enough to give up their own. Their plea for one table, and their weekly return to it, is one of the few genuinely American gifts to the church's understanding of itself.

The community around Christian Science Reading Room
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 5 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
