Church of Christ

About this church

Silver Spring Church of Christ worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible classes at 11:15; Wednesday Bible classes begin at 7:30 p.m. The congregation reports that roughly 25 nations are represented on a typical Sunday morning. Its worship follows the Church of Christ pattern of a cappella singing, prayer, Scripture and preaching, weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper, and leadership shared by men of the congregation. Adults can choose among class topics, and classes are also offered for children and teenagers.

The church began on November 16, 1947, when fifteen Christians met in a second-floor Montgomery County courtroom reached through a door labeled as a liquor dispensary. It built at 100 East Franklin Avenue in stages beginning in 1954 and later helped establish congregations in Columbia, Damascus, Frederick, Olney, and Rockville. A major renovation improved the nursery, classrooms, parking, and physical accessibility; Montgomery County recognized the result with a barrier-free design award in 1997. For newcomers, Silver Spring combines a notably international membership, weekly Communion, structured Sunday and Wednesday study, and a local history shaped by church planting and accessibility.
