At Bethesda United Church of Christ (BUCC), worship is a time to belong, grow, and reconnect—with God, with one another, and with the deeper meaning in our lives. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, BUCC offers space for reflection, renewal, and a deeper sense of purpose.

We are an inclusive, progressive Christian community in Bethesda, rooted in faith, curiosity, and a shared commitment to justice and compassion. As an LGBTQ+ affirming church, we welcome people of all backgrounds and life experiences. Through scripture, music, prayer, and thoughtful preaching, we explore faith in ways that are honest, meaningful, and relevant for today’s world.



Our faith extends beyond Sunday worship. We are committed to caring for our neighbors through community service, including providing meals, supporting families through a Christmas toy drive, and organizing a school supply drive for local students.

Wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here—and invited to grow, connect, and make a difference alongside us.
