What should I wear?
Something comfortable. Most of our folks dress casually. If you look around carefully, you can spy a tie and a sports coat here and there. We believe that God is far more concerned with a person’s heart than their clothes.

When and where is your Sunday morning service?
We meet at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. for worship each Sunday. We are located at 23700 Stringtown Road in Clarksburg, Maryland. Click here for directions.

Where do I go when I get there?
When you pull into our driveway, you will note signs directing you to parking spaces that are reserved for our first time guests. These spaces are located right in front of the building. If you have any questions about parking, volunteers in our parking lot ministry will be available to assist you. As you approach the building, our children’s ministry is located in the right wing of the building. If you have little ones who want to enjoy a high-energy time of learning about God, enter through the doors on the far right of the building. If you want to head straight into our main auditorium where our worship service is held, enter through either side of the large room in the center of the building. Upon entering, you will be greeted by one of the friendly folks on our Hospitality team and given a bulletin with information about the morning service. Then, you can find a seat, settle in, and relax.

What happens during a Sunday morning service?
Our services are relaxed, and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable, so our hope is that you will sit back, relax, and enjoy your time with us. Usually, we begin with a musical prelude as a way of inviting folks to find their seats and begin preparing their hearts to encounter God. After the prelude, we spend about thirty minutes or so worshipping and celebrating God’s presence through music and song. We take a few minutes each week to update folks on events and news around the church and take an offering (as our guest, feel no obligation to participate in the offering). On a fairly regular basis, we use either video clips or live drama to illustrate the message of the day. The pastor’s message will last about thirty minutes. The entire service lasts around 75 minutes.

What happens with my kids?
We have a wonderful children’s ministry (we call it Promiseland) that teaches and cares for children during the Sunday service. We want children to think of church as a place that is fun, safe, and filled with God’s presence. Kids should learn to experience God at their level, become equipped to pray, and learn to trust in God for themselves. Consequently, we’ve designed Promiseland with these kinds of goals in mind. We also have a class for middle-school student’s that takes place concurrently with the Sunday morning service as well. For more information about Promiseland or our Student Ministry, click on one of these links: Promiseland; CBSM.

What happens after the service ends?
You will have a chance to eat, drink, and be friendly! Every week after the service, we have coffee and snacks available for everyone. Please feel free to hang out for a while, grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and introduce yourself to some people.

What if I have questions about Cedarbrook?
Immediately following every service, we offer ‘Cedarbrook in 7 Minutes’ in the front of the auditorium especially for our first time guests. You can stop by and ask any questions you may have, and also learn a bit more about who we are as a church, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.
