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.
