Upper Merion Baptist Church emphasizes its role as servant leader in the community by providing a multitude of church-sponsored activities to disciple and invigorate believers, to attract and serve newcomers, and to offer meeting space for many community groups. In addition to Sunday morning activities, the church sustains events throughout the week.

Church Activities and Events

Special Worship Service - Wednesday May 22, 2013 Covered Dish Supper 5:30PM (Note time change) Worship Service in Sanctuary 6:30PM. UMBC is hosting a worship service conducted by Palmer Theological Seminary students, many of whom are international students in the US for a one-week intensive seminar.  We are expecting at least 100 people to attend this service. Please bring a dish to share keeping in mind we will have nearly 100 guests. The adult and children’s classes will not be meeting this night.  Youth programming will meet as usual.  There will be childcare for the youngest children. If you have questions about the service, please contact me.   If you have questions about the food, contact Linda Cooley or Nereida Montes.

The Penny Project - Help the children of UMBC collect pennies to help children who live in poverty. The goal of the Penny Project, which is sponsored by the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, is to raise the awareness of the many children and their families who live in poverty. Our goal is to collect 37,000 pennies, one for each child living in poverty in Montgomery County. Bring your pennies to church each Sunday to help fill our penny banks.

Worship 101 Workshop - Do you want to learn more about worship? Then you will want to attend this new Sunday School Class beginning February 3rd. The focus of this nine session course is the book "Pure Praise" by Dwayne Moore. Ernest Yeo will lead the discussion on the question "What is Worship and how can I worship God more authentically?"  The class will meet at 9:30AM in Room 23.

Each day at 8:50AM and PM - we want you to STOP and PRAY for at least 60 seconds.  Twice each day, we will ask God to guide us as we discern our unique purpose and seek God’s wisdom for our leaders who are working  to form a new leadership structure that will facilitate God’s mission for us.

Second Sundays - We believe that UMBC is a unique church, with unique gifts and with a unique purpose.  On the Second Sunday of each month, we meet to discern together what make us unique, what resources God has given us, and what mission God would have us accomplish.  We have breakfast together at 8:30AM and we meet from 9:00-10:30.  Everyone is who is interested in being a part of what God is doing at UMBC is welcome…you do not need to be a member.
