Our money tells a story about us. Where does it come from? Where does it go? This year, this church will listen to Jesus’ teachings on money, and hear the story he wants our money to tell. We will also commit ourselves to give some of our money through this church to help God’s kingdom come in Chestertown and beyond.

The cliche is the “patience of Job”, but have you read the book of Job? He wasn’t very patient. Instead he was frustrated, angry, insistent, and confrontational. Perhaps it wasn’t Job’s patience, but his perseverance that God admired. In the face of trouble or injustice, it isn’t just quiet patience, but determined perseverance that models faithfulness. Join us Sundays in October at 930am.

The story of Job is not an easy one. What can we learn about God, life, and ourselves by reading and studying this amazing story of struggle, faithfulness, suffering, and redemption?

Come find your small group for Fall 2024! We have lots to choose from with options of frequency, location, day of the week, and topic. We always order a few books, or if you are able, order your own through your favorite retailer.

This congregation expects everyone to have a group where we can build relationships and build faith. Join one today!

Jesus loved a party! He loved to include people, and make the party bigger and better, until all the world was enjoying one another. For this four-night VBS, we will have worship, dinner, play games, make crafts and music, and learn that God is love and loves everyone. Find out more or register HERE.

For the children of this church and community, we are helping send any K-5th grader that wishes to Camp Pecometh! Just register with the camp for either of the camp weeks listed, let them know your connection to this church, and we will help subsidize some of the cost. Register at pecometh.org

We believe different things… inside ourselves and across the church. These different beliefs can clash or create conflict. When our faith is tuned to God, our different beliefs become complimenting notes in a beautiful harmony. Each Sunday this summer, we'll study one big belief, one song supporting that belief, and find our own note in the harmonies of faith. If you’d like read the book "Presbyterian Beliefs (Revised Edition, 2017)" by Don McKim to compliment the series.

This year, our church will have a tent and table display at the annual Tea Party festival. Come see us! If you have room and time, volunteer to staff the booth, meet people, tell them about our church, and invite any and all to come and see!

We invite any High Schooler of the church or community to have this dedicated time of faith questions, nuances, and conversations. With a balance of scripture, history, and theology, the faith of parents or the church begins to become your own. Contact Rev. Caitlan to find out more.

Our partners of 18 years from the Matiki Church in Malawi are visiting with us, finally! After numerous delays in this long standing relationship from COVID, Visas, and schedule conflicts, we finally welcome three guests. Contact Doug West, our Missions Chair, to volunteer your time. Or, join any of our events where we meet and greet them.
