Worship Service
The Holy and Almighty God serves His people through Word and Sacrament and we respond withprayer, praise and thanksgiving, giving our adoration and worship to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit The Bible is clear that our lives are worship to God (Rom 12:1-2).
This worship service brings together a full choir, stirring music and powerful preaching. UMBC’s sanctuary is the perfect setting for a moving worship experience, complemented with the warmth of an open and welcoming congregation. Childcare is available and a free continental breakfast is offered.

Midweek Bible Study
Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.—Matthew 11:29
The association of Bible study and prayer is an important one. Christians do not merely study the Bible as an academic disciple, but with the desire to know God better. Therefore we frequently pray that God will give us understanding. To us, the Bible is not just a sacred book, but is the very Word of God, that is, a message from God which has direct relevance to our daily lives.
