Welcome to Channing Memorial Church, a Unitarian Universalist congregation where the focus is on the question, not the answer. If you searched and found this website, you may be looking for a religious community that feels comfortable spiritually. If you are also open to being challenged spiritually, we may be the place for you.  (Continue message from the minister)

Our Sunday Services begin at 10:00 a.m.  From September to June, services are at Northfield Elementary School, 9125 Northfield Road in Ellicott City, MD (or occasionally at Bethany Lane). Check the Event Calendar for location on a particular Sunday, or to see if there are any special worship services during the month. 
Read a brief description of a typical Sunday worship service.

 Directions to Northfield Elementary and Bethany Lane locations

During Sunday services at Northfield, we provide child care for infants and religious education for children and youth.

Our minister, Reverend Susan LaMar, is in the pulpit most Sundays. About once a month, we offer a lay-led service or have a guest speaker.

Our Mission

To build a church of liberal religious worship that assists its members to meet their own spiritual needs and their responsibilities to others.

Our Vision

  • To derive a common spiritual center from Jewish and Christian roots, drawing inspiration from other world religions.
  • To promote religious education for all ages.
  • To provide a welcoming, supporting, and caring community.
  • To identify and respond to needs in the larger community.
