Welcome!
Church in Bethesda (CiB) is a fellowship of backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, ages, and interests.
We are guided by a set of values, rather than a list of doctrines. Our doors are open to all, regardless of race, religion, gender, sex, or anything else that makes us different. You are invited to be who you are here, love who you love here, and worship the God of your understanding here.
We look forward to meeting you! Please keep scrolling for more things you might be interested in.
