ABOUT
Third Church shares mutual love and peace with our neighbors and local interfaith communities.
Christian Scientists have been part of the Tucson community since the early 1900s.
Alice Hoff, the wife of one of our mayors, was the first Christian Scientist in Tucson. She became a church founder, a Christian Science practitioner and was committed to the church’s individual ministry of healing. An article in The Arizona Daily Star, “Road honors husband of Tucson’s first Christian Scientist”, speaks briefly about her life.
The Third Church branch was established in 1973, by a group of Tucsonans who had been healed in Christian Science and wanted to join together to worship God.
Today, there are four Christian Science churches in southern Arizona.
1st Church of Christ, Scientist
3rd Church of Christ, Scientist
4th Church of Christ, Scientist
Green Valley Church of Christ, Scientist
