Directions

We are located at the corner of Wilson Lane and Clarendon Road one block from Old Georgetown Road in the heart of Bethesda, Maryland.

If you are coming by MetroRail, we are a short walk from the Bethesda Metro Station up Old Georgetown Road and a block down Wilson Lane; or you can get closer by catching Ride-On bus No. 47 (in the direction of "Rockville Station" from Bethesda Metro Station), take it to the Old Georgetown Rd & Arlington Rd. Stop and walk down Wilson Lane.

If you are coming by car, the parking lot at Bethesda Elementary School is available for our use when there is not a school function. Access to this lot is from Arlington Road at Moorland Lane. From your car walk through the pedestrian gate on Wilson Lane (which should be open) and go left down the sidewalk or circle from your car around the school the other direction to Clarendon Road to reach the church.
