About Us

Christian Science Reading Rooms are sponsored by local churches of Christ, Scientist in communities large and small, in the U.S. and around the world. The Christian Science Reading Room @ Pioneer Square is one of them and is sponsored by churches of Christ, Scientist from Oregon and southwest Washington.

Our visitors include a wide variety of individuals from Portland, the United States, and around the world. Some are familiar with Christian Science Reading Rooms, and many are just learning about Christian Science for the first time. All are welcome.

We’ve been a presence in Portland since 1913. Since 1993 we have been located on SW Yamhill Street, half a block from Pioneer Courthouse Square, a gathering-place for many events in the city.

This website is maintained by First Churches of Christ, Scientist Beaverton, Lake Oswego and Portland, Oregon.
