We are a church that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ and the early New Testament church. We value the Word of God - the Bible, and the moral and ethical standards Jesus set for us.  We strive to honor, obey and love Him, and each other.  We follow Jesus by preaching the same message He did about the Kingdom of God and by worshiping on the 7th day Sabbath and annual Holy Days, as He and the apostles did and taught.

We meet for Sabbath services weekly in Columbia, Maryland. Feel free to reach out to me using the contact information above if we may be of help to you in any way.  We look forward to meeting you!

Proclaiming God's Message

We are also driven to proclaim God’s message of hope and repentance to the nations. So we share His love and truth passionately, seeking to teach all the things Christ commanded. We are a part of an International association of over 430 congregations around the world dedicated to preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God in all the world. We want to be known to all by our care, concern and love.

Friendly and Enthusiastic

We are a friendly, enthusiastic congregation that strives to follow the example of Jesus Christ. What’s most important to God is most important to us. It's about loving relationships - first with God the Father and Jesus Christ and also with each other. Loving God, sharing His truth and loving people like you, is a simple way to say what we’re all about.
