No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are invited here
All Inclusive Spiritual Connectedness
We are an open and affirming progressive Christian community of faith-seeking and faith-keeping people grounded in stories and truths from the scriptures. We are open to insights and interpretations of God revealed to us through new experiences, different faiths and diverse cultures. We provide opportunities for formation of Christian ideals through spiritual enrichment, offer education for progressive Christians to find their own ways of understanding Jesus, and encourage practice of these teachings in everyday living.
Weekly Service
Sundays are designed with you in mind. There is a variety of Gathering Prayers, Sermons that make you think, Traditional and Newly Inspired Hymns, Meditative Moment of Silence, Children’s Story or Song, and Opportunities to Share with Your Community.
Each service is designed to take you on a contemplative journey of self discovery. We offer you space to open up to new possibilities in your thinking and spirit. It is the collective intention that you feel renewed for your week ahead.
Share Your Life Journey
Every week you have an opportunity to be around others who like you, experience the ups and downs of life. You dont have to do anything alone, and with a community of people we all support and care for one another. We all take responsibility for ourselves and our happiness, but there is something very sacred about sharing our lives with others. To be seen and heard without being fixed or changed. We want you to share your life with us, as we share ours with you on our life’s journey.
Community Giving
There are always ways to give to your community utilizing the ministries available at Church of the Beatitudes. Bishop’s Pantry (grab and go meals for homeless), Children’s Services at Maryland School, Shoebox Ministry (New, Clean, Socks for Homeless), ICM (Help for the homeless), Duet (Care for the Caregiver), Family Promise (host a homeless family in our space for the week), and so much more. Find out where you can plug in, your community needs you.
