Dumbarton offers its Adult Education program to anyone interested on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. except from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Except in summer (from Memorial Day through Labor Day), Adult Education classes begin each Sunday morning at ten in the church’s Fellowship Hall on the first floor. Worship services are upstairs in the sanctuary every Sunday at 11, generally concluding at noon or a few minutes thereafter. For all Sunday activities at Dumbarton, dress is casual.

Dumbarton offers one worship service each Sunday. Except for the summer months from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when worship begins at 9:30 a.m., all our services begin at 11, usually winding up at noon or a few minutes after, depending on whether there is communion and on the length of congregation members’ sharings of joys and concerns. Adult Education sessions begin at ten each Sunday morning, again except for the summer months from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Faith is what gives each of us the strength to carry on in the face of grief, doubt, fear, isolation, shame, or unexpected reversal. Dumbarton offers a community that seeks to provide that strength by bringing people together for a deeper understanding of God and scripture to make better sense of their personal experience and the wider world.
Come as you are and be welcomed.
Dumbarton is an inclusive faith community and we have stood for full inclusion of LGBTQ persons since1987.
The church is also a leading advocate for changing national and global United Methodist policies to remove unjust and discriminatory provisions disqualifying openly LGBTQ candidates for the ministry and prohibiting all United Methodist clergy from officiating at same-sex weddings. We believe all people are children of God, and God loves consenting adults no matter whom they love.
Are you looking to deepen your prayer life during the season of Advent? Would you like to make more space for quiet contemplation in this busy time of year?
You are welcome to join us on zoom for weekly prayer and meditation on Thursday mornings 7:45-8:00 am. Contact Rev. Rachel for more information.

If you plan to attend a Dumbarton activity in person and are not walking, biking, or taking a hired vehicle or public transit, allow a few extra minutes to find a parking spot, even on Sunday mornings. Parking in Georgetown is notoriously scarce, but easier if you come for Adult Ed and Children's Ed, both at 10 a.m.
We welcome visitors to participate in both Adult Education programs and worship services on Sunday mornings either in person or online. Join us for worship in person or on Zoom!

Children are an important part of our faith family and are always welcome in worship. Faith comes alive for children and youth at Dumbarton—not just through Sunday worship, but by also participating in one of our church’s many mission and outreach opportunities.
