St. Paul's United Church of Christ

St. Paul's United Church of Christ is Carroll County, Maryland's premier and only open and affirming church, offering extravagant welcome to the LGBT community.  Traditional and same-sex marriage ceremonies.  On-site reception hall and catering.  Wedding planners available to help you plan your very special day.

St. Paul’s United Church of Christ is an Open and Affirming Congregation where God is Still Speaking.  Here, we seek to receive with respect and nurture with intention the gifts of all who come to us on their journey of faith.  In all things, we celebrate the richness of God’s diverse creation as we actively seek to make the world a better place.

We believe that every person is a child of God, made in God’s image, loved by God, and invested with dignity and worth; and that discipleship requires us to “Welcome others as Christ welcomes us” (Romans 15:7). As an Open and Affirming Congregation, we embrace diversity in our congregation and in our community. We welcome into full membership and participation persons of every race, language, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, economic circumstance, marital status and faith background. We invite all people to participate in all aspects of our lay and ordained ministries and to avail themselves of the sacraments and rites accorded to members of the congregation. We believe such is the Realm of God (Luke 13:29).

To exclude persons from the church and society because of sexual orientation or on any other basis withers away the Body of Christ. When one part of the body suffers, all others suffer with it (I Corinthians 12:26). Instead, we vow to do all within our power to promote justice and healing through our commitment to being an Open and Affirming Church.
