Lakewood, Ohio (First Church).—Dedication services for First Church of Christ, Scientist, Lakewood, were held in the church edifice, Detroit and Arthur Avenues, on Sunday, May 22, 1938, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. True simplicity and thanksgiving marked the occasion, when thousands of earnest members and friends from the various churches in the community thronged the beautiful structure.

This church, starting as a Christian Science Society, held its first public service in the McCaskey Block, Detroit and Belle Avenues, on January 23, 1910, after meeting at the homes of members since the early fall of 1909. On December 12 of the same year, a charter was received for a church.

The members purchased their lot on February 3, 1911. Excavation was begun in September of 1913, and the cornerstone laid the following month. Debt was cleared on the first unit in 1919.
