Publishing, education, and community operations for Christian Science movement
The Mother Church operates a distributed mission across publishing (Christian Science Monitor, periodicals, Bible lessons), a library and reading-room network, public events, and digital platforms. The tech stack—BigQuery, React/Next.js, GraphQL, AWS Lambda—supports modern analytics and web infrastructure, but hiring velocity is accelerating across ops, finance, and marketing while engineering remains lean (2 roles). Projects cluster around paid-media campaigns, analytics frameworks, and data infrastructure for measuring communication reach, suggesting the organization is systematizing what was likely manual or fragmented insight work.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist (The Mother Church) is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and serves as the global headquarters for the Christian Science movement. Founded in 1879, the organization operates several distinct functional areas: the Christian Science Publishing Society (publisher of the Monitor, Sentinel, Journal, and Herald); the Mary Baker Eddy Library; the Mother Church Reading Room; and Christian Science Plaza, a public cultural venue in Back Bay. The organization maintains weekly services, coordinates international church activities, manages legal and financial operations, and distributes the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. It is a nonprofit with 201–500 employees.
Core infrastructure includes BigQuery (analytics), React/Next.js/TypeScript (frontend), AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, CodePipeline), GraphQL (API), Node.js, and HR platforms (UKG, ADP). Google Ads and Adobe Analytics support campaign measurement.
Active projects include paid-media campaigns (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn), building an analytics framework for communication effectiveness, data infrastructure for customer insights, digitizing documents and manuscripts, and streamlining vendor and accounting processes.
