There are many ways to become involved at Brown Memorial. We hold “Brown 101” sessions four times a year for anyone interested in learning more about the church and our community. These sessions are strictly informational and help folks find their fit at Brown even if membership is not the aim. Additionally, the links below may help you find your place. Or contact our Congregational Life Minister, Rachel Cunningham, who would love to help you find your niche. We also encourage you to sign up for our newsletters to keep up-to-date with all that’s happening at Brown.
The church is comprised of many small groups that provide easy entry points for community beyond our weekly worship. Sunday mornings offer the best opportunity to connect, with fellowship and education classes following worship. Weekday gatherings include a weekly Bible study, a Thursday prayer service, a monthly spiritual reading/discussion group, and other groups that come together around common interests. Learn more about our church life.
Music has a long and deep history here, rooted in the joy that comes from singing the faith. Try out the weekly rehearsal of the Chancel Choir or the Handbell Choir. The Soulful Revue singing group also leads worship in a different style a few times each year. Learn more about our choral and instrumental music ensembles.
Mission and justice are in our blood. From a volunteer tutoring program serving Baltimore City public school children for more than 60 years, to participation in BUILD (Balitmoreans United In Leadership Development), to our longstanding national and global partnerships, we try to cultivate relationships of accompaniment. Learn more about Brown’s work in the city, as well as our work in the the world.
We welcome anyone who wishes to officially join the church four separate times during the year. This process involves meeting with members of Session, sharing some of your faith journey, and what brought you to Brown. Typically, that meeting takes place before worship on the day we have designated to welcome new members. Our Senior Pastor, Andrew Connors, or our Congregational Life Minister, Rachel Cunningham, are also always happy to meet one-on-one with anyone about membership.
