==History==
Christian Science presence first came to Pensacola in [[1895]]. It was reorganized in [[1905]] as an official branch of [[Wikipedia:The First Church of Christ, Scientist (Boston, Massachusetts)|the Mother Church]] in Boston. Services were held in various downtown buildings until the church purchased a property at 15 West [[Belmont Street]] in [[1920]].
In [[1967]], the church purchased a larger property at 4880 North [[9th Avenue]]. Construction of a new building began in April [[1972]], and the first service was held on [[December 10]], [[1974]]. The building was officially dedicated on [[December 29]] of that year. The North 9th Avenue church property has since been sold and the church is now meeting in a storefront at the North Davis Highway location until a new church is constructed on Nine Mile Road. The Sunday service is at 10:30AM, and the Wednesday Evening meeting is now at 7:00PM. The Reading Room is available before and after church services and from noon to 2:00PM on Saturdays.
