These Sunday Worship Services are an opportunity for people to gather and find our identity together in our faith and faithfulness. Our Music Program includes choirs for both the 9 and 10:30 services, two Bell Choirs, and a developing Children's Choir. The Sunday School sessions at 9 and 10:30 a.m. provide nurture and Christian Education for children through adults. Each session has its own set of curriculum materials and is grouped and taught in ways appropriate to those who attend at those particular times.

Since the community here is always growing, we schedule many opportunities for gathering together as a church family. There are monthly picnics May through August and a Hay Ride in October for all our families. Hymn Sings, special seasonal events, and covered dish suppers all become times for us to meet each other and build our Community. Our Fall Retreat brings us all together for a weekend of relaxation and reflection.
Our Outreach Committee keeps in touch with the needs of others and is actively involved in the struggle to meet those needs. Regular trips to service at the “Carpenter's Kitchen”, a soup kitchen, and “Heart's Place” shelter, both in Baltimore City, involve many of us in reaching out to those who are hungry and homeless. Our annual Christmas in April Project and Work Camps, as well as our growing involvement in the Sandtown Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore, provide opportunities for deeper involvement.
In addition, we are called to respond in direct ways to meet emergency needs such as funds collected to assist victims of natural disasters. We also support groups looking to providing assistance to those in need in Howard County.

Our Fundraising Activities are also ‘fun-raising’ times. The annual Oyster Supper on the first Saturday in November finds over 100 of our members working throughout the day to serve 800 dinners. The Strawberry Festival in the spring is an outside event of games and activity and all kinds of delicious strawberry concoctions.
