Worship
We worship on Sundays at 10:45 AM in our sanctuary and on Zoom. We hope you will join us! To get login information to join by Zoom, please email faithchurchbalt@gmail.com.
Worship is the heart of how we gather as a community. Our congregation is diverse, and so is our worship style. Our music reflects both ancient traditions and newer expressions, led by our choir along with gifted guest vocalists. The service includes scripture, silence, and song; preaching, prayer, and time to connect. We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of each month and all are invited and welcome to share in the sacrament with us.
We are a welcoming and affirming congregation – ready to embrace you just as you are. That you come matters so much more than what you’re wearing!
Children are always welcome in worship! There is a PRAYground near the front, with books, art, and quiet activities to keep little hands busy while ears listen, and close to the action to keep kids engaged. We also have a nursery with a caregiver just outside the front sanctuary door, should that be your preference.
