Being a Disciple

In order to be his disciple, we must follow Jesus. In addition to following him, Jesus informed his disciples that there are other requirements to being a disciple. In Mark 8:34 we read, “Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.’ ”

News & Events

Be Bold

Ash Wednesday began our season of Lent. Be bold in your Lenten discipline. Take this time to make a lifelong change in adding a holy habit or destroying a bad practice. I was able to impose ashes on four humans and one dog during the daytime hours and about 20 people during our 1/2 hour (okay, 32 minutes) worship service. God strengthen you and keep you as you struggle with your Lent.

In the name of God,

Pastor Curtis.

The Church

A Little Bit About Us: 

Concord Methodist Church was formed in 1819, making it one of the oldest Methodist churches in Montgomery County, MD. St. Andrew's Methodist Church formed in 1956 to serve a growing suburban population. The two churches merged in 1976 to become Concord-St. Andrew's United Methodist Church and the 35th anniversary was celebrated in October 2011. Learn more about us here.

Whether you are visiting or searching for a church home, you are always welcome to worship with us. Our address is 5910 Goldsboro Rd., Bethesda, MD 20817.

Worship lifts our spirirts and strengthens our relationships with God. It also stirs our imaginations, fills us with wonder, and offers us fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Come as you are! Be our guest! Experience the love of God and Christian community.
