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)

We will begin having services in Catonsville this September at the Christian Temple (Disciples of Christ) at 5820 Edmondson Avenue at Academy Road, Baltimore, MD 21228-1929. Please join us at 1:00 p.m. for the annual water communion service on September 12, 2010, the first service at our new worship space.

Read a brief description of a typical Sunday worship service.

Our minister, Reverend Susan LaMar, is in the pulpit most Sundays, except during July and August. In her absence, we offer a lay-led service or have a guest speaker.

We provide child care for infants and religious education for children and youth during worship services. In the summer, children are welcome to attend the services at Bethany Lane.

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.
