Christ Church Wayside

About this church

Christ Church Wayside worships at 13050 Rock Point Road in Newburg on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. The Episcopal service uses song, readings, a sermon, prayer, and Holy Eucharist, with a structure the church describes as flexible enough for people to come as they are. Visitors enter the historic sanctuary through the doors facing Rock Point Road. Accessible parking is behind the church, with a ramp leading around to the front. A social hour and changing online prayer or study opportunities provide additional ways to connect.

Known historically as William and Mary Parish, Christ Church is a welcoming community growing in faith and sharing the love of Jesus. The congregation's long story includes a Queen Anne chalice and paten dated to 1700, a sanctuary repaired after use by Union troops during the Civil War, and continuous vestry records since 1864. Its present ministry includes children's formation during worship, Communion instruction, regional youth activities, and community service. On the first Friday of each month, volunteers support a Maryland Food Bank Mobile Market at the Newburg Volunteer Fire Department from noon to 2:00 p.m. That combination of Anglican sacramental worship, historic place, accessible arrival information, and hands-on local outreach distinguishes the Wayside congregation.
