Damascus Congregational Christian Church

About this church

Damascus Congregational Christian Church in Chapel Hill gathers for worship on Sundays at 11 a.m. at 522 Damascus Church Road in Orange County. The congregation dates its beginning to 1797, when a circuit-riding preacher established it, which makes it one of the older churches in North Carolina. The church describes itself as Christ-centered, Bible-based, and ministry-focused, with members ranging in age from infants to people in their nineties. Being Congregational means the church is led by its congregation. Communion is observed on the first Sunday of January, April, July, and October.

Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and can also be joined by Zoom, with the meeting ID listed on the website. A fellowship dinner takes place at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, except December. The site says questions and conversation are welcome, and that members try to encourage and learn from one another. For visitors with mobility needs, the church is ADA compliant and asks guests to use the side door entrance ramp. Questions or prayer requests can be sent by email or by calling (919) 929-7123. Confirm current times on the church website before visiting.
