Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church (USA)

About this church

Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church (USA) in Baltimore gathers for Sunday worship at 10:30 a.m. at the corner of Park and Lafayette Avenues in the Bolton Hill neighborhood. Worship centers on song, story, Scripture and a sermon. A typical service includes passing the peace, when people leave their pews to greet one another, and a period of silence. Infants and children are welcome in the sanctuary, and some noise is expected. During the program year, which runs from the Sunday after Labor Day to the Sunday before Memorial Day, lunch follows at 11:30 a.m. and a Faith Exploration session at 12:15 p.m. There is no dress code, and worship can also be joined online through Zoom.

Weekday gatherings include a weekly Bible study, a Thursday prayer service and a monthly spiritual reading and discussion group. Music groups include the Chancel Choir, the Handbell Choir and the Soulful Revue singing group. The church also runs a volunteer tutoring program for Baltimore City public school children and takes part in BUILD. Informational "Brown 101" sessions are held several times a year for newcomers.

The church has no parking lot, but street parking is available nearby. A free Sunday shuttle runs from the Mt. Royal Elementary School lot at 121 McMechen St. Confirm shuttle hours and schedule details on the website. Accessible entrances, large-print bulletins and assistive listening devices are available.
