About St Luke's Episcopal Church
St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Bethesda, Maryland welcomes all people regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. The congregation practices radical inclusion and extravagant hospitality, inviting visitors to participate in worship, community service, or fellowship in whatever way aligns with their spiritual journey. Sunday services are offered at 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., with the later service featuring music and hymns, while both include communion at an open altar where anyone is welcome to participate. The church actively engages in community ministries including monthly meal preparation at a local soup kitchen and comprehensive mental health services through Cornerstone Montgomery. Nursery care is provided during Sunday mornings, and the congregation gathers after services for coffee and homemade snacks in the parish hall.
First-Time Visitor Info for St Luke's Episcopal Church
Dress Code: Wear what you are comfortable in—some people wear suits and dresses, others wear jeans or khakis. Service Format: The 8:30 a.m. service is quieter and shorter (under an hour) with about 30-40 attendees, while the 10 a.m. service includes hymns and runs just over an hour with about 110 attendees; both include scripture reading, sermon, prayers, and communion followed by fellowship in the parish hall. Visitor Tips: Park on Grosvenor Lane, Southport Drive, or in the lot behind the church; children are welcome in worship and there is a soft play space at the back; about halfway through, the congregation shares the Peace by shaking hands and sometimes hugging; communion is open to all, and if you prefer not to receive it, you may cross your arms to receive a blessing instead.
