Hello!
Welcome to Woodland Chapel, First Church of Religious
Science. We are, as our founder, Ernest Holmes said, a
religion, a philosophy, and a science geared toward helping
people make positive, productive choices in their lives.
As one learns and grows in these universal principles of
successful living, you will esperience more peace, love,
health, and prosperity than you ever thought possible.
We offer a Sunday morning service that is a true celebration
of life. Our music is energizing; our message is inspirational
as well as instructive. Our purpose is not only to heal,
nurture, and uplift, but to give you something you can use in
your life each and every day....practical, hands-on guidance
from the wisdom of the ages, as expressed through the
teachings of Jesus, Buddha, the ancient scriptures of the
Hindu world, and today’s newest, cutting edge insights of
quantum physics.
Classes are offered on an on-going basis to help you learn
and incorporate into your life all you can gain from the most
amazing minds of the ages. Through the week Woodland
Chapel plays host to a wide variety of empowering groups
ranging from 12 Step programs to Buddhist meditation to yoga.
At any time, you can spend a few moments in tranquil
contemplation in our Meditation Garden, creekside in a grove
of trees, an unexpected and delightful oasis in downtown Salem.
We know that God speaks many languages and wears many
faces. We welcome all, in joy and friendship, at Woodland Chapel.

In One Spirit
