Overview
Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church is an enthusiastic congregation of over 680 members located in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb of nearby Washington, D.C. We are a growing, outward-looking congregation, composed of people who are tolerant and curious about other religious traditions and who embrace a variety of theological perspectives.
Creative worship, education for faithful living, and outreach mission are essential and integral parts of our life together. We enjoy a long tradition of exceptionally strong music and preaching. Our active church school program attracts many families with young children. Compassion for the needy and acknowledgment of social injustice are very much a part of the Bradley Hills ideology.
Our members, many of whom have grown up in other parts of the country, frequently refer to the congregation as "my church family." Different views of the world are accepted, and efforts are made to understand diverse points of view. For instance, Bradley Hills has shared sacred space in our building with the Bethesda Jewish Congregation for 38 years. We are an active member of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians actively seeking to open up the ordained offices of the Church to all faithful believers, regardless of sexual orientation. And recently, we have begun to build a partnership with a village in Uganda.
BHPC is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest and most progressive Presbyterian denomination in the country. Rooted in the sovereignty and grace of God, we strive to be open-hearted and open-minded in our Christian discipleship.
