Who We Are

The Church of the Resurrection is a small mission congregation situated in a diverse working-class community in East Baltimore. Just a few steps outside our front door are two MTA bus stops. A sign on our fence invites people on the street to come inside to rest and to pray. Visitors are always welcome to take away a free Bible, a book of devotional readings, a children’s Bible story, or perhaps a handful of pretzels on a busy morning, or a cup of cold water on a humid summer day.

The congregation is as diverse as the neighborhood. Great-grandparents worship with their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Some of the poorest of Baltimore’s poor families share the gifts of bread and wine with educators, computer professionals, and a concert pianist -- while our youngest member smiles and laughs at the vicar while she preaches! (His mother can take him to the children’s play area at the back of the sanctuary, where they can enjoy stained-glass blocks and Godly Play materials, or hold a quiet conversation with our Jesus doll.

Our Work in the World

Resurrection’s former vicarage is now a transitional housing program for young families recovering from drug abuse. In our parish hall, the Ark Daycare Center offers a safe haven (and first-rate preparation for school!) to children whose families are living in homeless shelters, or are in treatment for drug abuse.

Other outreach efforts include

  • Godly play in neighborhood parks and green spaces
  • Helping neighborhood families provide clothing for their children that meet school dress code requirements
  • Donating supplies to help low income families erradicate head lice
  • Supporting the Reading Challenge program at the William Paca Elementary School
