MBC Bethesda is a branch off of the main McLean Bible Church located in Leesburg, VA…read more About a year ago they began holding services at the Strathmore in North Bethesda, but recently they moved locations to the Bethesda Roundhouse- which is one block from the Bethesda Metro station. Parking is free on Sundays in the municipal parking garage across East-West Highway from the Round House Theatre. The garage may be entered from Montgomery Avenue or either side of Waverly Street. The MBC church is a wonderful way to interact with a local community of followers of Christ while still learning from the insights of the main pastor Lon Solomon from the main VA campus. Services are held: Sunday 9:00 am 10:45 am There is free childcare for parents who want to attend service in peace and quiet. Services are not very long, for those of us who have the attention spans of gnats.

Ok, I confess I'm the lazy one out of the two of us Thankfully the District Church is very progressive, diverse, and efficient. The service doesn't seem to go past 90 minutes and doesn't drag at all. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a progressive church in DC.

Agree with a lot of the previous review. However, it has been my experience that this is not the…read morewarmest, friendliest church. Even in the small groups they promote that feeling is not there either. I'm not sure if people are cynical, closed off from past hurts, overworked, or what, but it shows. It makes you want to keep a healthy distance. I think there is a lot of good here and many people here have hearts for God and for people. AND I can't help but notice that a chunk of them could use some serious attitude adjustments. It reflects poorly not only on them but on the church as well. I know it's hard to serve AND 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 shares that we should give cheerfully not reluctantly or under compulsion. This is not just money but time as well. Not following this scripture typically produces bitterness and bad attitudes. The Bible also states in Luke 6:45 that "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks". I think it might be time for some heart checks. If you don't want to serve, don't or make it a point to get to a place where you can do it cheerfully. Ask the Holy Spirit to work in you, tap into it. It is not God's will for you to serve and exude negativity. I don't want to negate all the good the church does because it does do a lot of good and I did want to bring this to the forefront because it is an issue that should be spoken on. God Bless!

I always feel warmly welcomed when I come, and the Pastors always make time to speak with members after service. Having 3 different services is a plus too, and I haven't had any issues finding parking on the street. There's free coffee and snake before and after service, and an overflow area outside the sanctuary for watching services as well. Next Saturday is their Do Good Global Meal Pack, where we'll be packing 275,000 to send to children in the Dominican Republic along with Kids Around the World.
