Eddy devoted the rest of her life to the establishment of the church, writing its bylaws, The Manual of The Mother Church, and revising Science and Health.
By the 1870s she was telling her students, "Some day I will have a church of my own."
In 1879 she and her students established the Church of Christ, Scientist, "to commemorate the word and works of our Master [Jesus], which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing."
In 1892 at Eddy's direction, the church reorganized as The First Church of Christ, Scientist,  "designed to be built on the Rock, Christ. ... "
In 1881, she founded the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, where she taught approximately 800 students between the years 1882 and 1889, when she closed it.
Eddy charged her students $300 each for tuition, a large sum for the time.

Her students spread across the country practicing healing, and instructing others.
Eddy authorized these students to list themselves as Christian Science Practitioners in the church's periodical, The Christian Science Journal.
She also founded the Christian Science Sentinel, a weekly magazine with articles about how to heal and testimonies of healing.

In 1888, a reading room selling Bibles, her writings and other publications opened in Boston.
This model would soon be replicated, and branch churches worldwide maintain more than 1,200 Christian Science Reading Rooms today.

In 1894 an edifice for The First Church of Christ, Scientist was completed in Boston (The Mother Church).
In the early years Eddy served as pastor.
In 1895 she ordained the Bible and Science and Health as the pastor.

Eddy founded The Christian Science Publishing Society in 1898, which became the publishing home for numerous publications launched by her and her followers.
In 1908, at the age of 87, she founded The Christian Science Monitor, a daily newspaper.
She also founded the Christian Science Journal in 1883, a monthly magazine aimed at the church's members and, in 1898, the Christian Science Sentinel, a weekly religious periodical written for a more general audience, and the Herald of Christian Science, a religious magazine with editions in many languages.
