A Welcome from the Congregation: Welcome to Glade United Church of Christ (Glade Church). We are a congregation of caring, compassionate, friendly, generous, and welcoming people who discovered the freedom and joy of genuine faith. We are parents, singles, seniors, teens, and children who live out our faith daily in our varied walks of life. We offer an extravagant welcome to all people regardless of age, race, gender, lifestyle, or sexual orientation.

We are an established church with a rich history, building upon hospitality and faith—sharing with all ages. Central to our ministry is a strong mission of outreach that reflects our clear and strong sense of what we exist to do as a church—to experience and share the love of Jesus Christ.

Whether it is in Honduras where we work with the poor to build new houses; or in leading this community in a Habitat for Humanity house build; or serving at the Frederick Soup Kitchen; or in a wonderfully varied music program; or in our highly relevant and contemporary classes for adults and children; or in our ministries with children and youth; we are committed to being a people with a vision that is transforming our lives.

Our core values are faith, growth, worship, gratitude, stewardship, inclusiveness, Christian education, and prayer. These core values help to tell who we are and who we are striving to become. We are members of the United Church of Christ, a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed.

Please come to worship with us! Glade Church meets every Sunday morning, 10:30 a.m. (September through May) or 9:30 a.m. (June through August). Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. We provide a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for all children and infants.

We provide an opportunity and atmosphere for the worship of God through uplifting, inspiring worship and music, preaching and teaching relevant to the issues you face daily. Welcome to all who wish to worship and learn with us. Welcome seekers. May you meet people like yourself searching for community and meaning for your life.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
(Psalm 84:3 New International Version)
