Founded in 1745 by Frederick County’s first settlers, Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ is firmly rooted in the life of our community and is regarded as a landmark church of the City of Frederick.
They are an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, welcoming all, respecting our rich heritage as one of Frederick’s oldest downtown churches, and serving the present as a leader in social action and service to the community.
They have been a member of the Chamber for many years and we constantly look to them to provide partnership in multiple ways through event hosting and more.
We encourage you to get to know more about them below!

Meet Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ
The Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ Way
Evangelical Reformed United Church of Christ is a community of faith, committed to creating a healthier, more just and peaceful world for all.
Our church is a place of vitality in worship, learning and advocacy. We are committed to working for justice.
Our faith is 2,000 years old. Our thinking is not.
Our congregation extends hospitality as a sign of God’s inclusive love to all. One of the ways we do this is by opening our buildings as a place of hospitality and welcome.
ERUCC is committed to proclaiming God’s love for all people as we work to help our neighbors near and far.

ERUCC: A True Community Church
Leaders and members of ERUCC are highly engaged with a variety of service groups, non-profits, businesses, educational institutions, and elected officials in creating a more sustainable Frederick.
Our new and renewed space has been a unique addition to downtown Frederick and has enabled ERUCC to have an even greater impact by hosting a variety of groups.
In 2018, ERUCC opened 8,000 square feet of new and renewed space in order to meet the needs of our growing congregation and to provide beautiful space for groups, businesses, and families. We want the wider community to know about this space and especially the Downtown Community Room. We work with everyone from anywhere, allowing people to turn our open space into a canvas.
We believe that the best way to serve any community, whether it’s a local event, hosting your wedding during a glamorous reception or attending a corporate seminar, is to open our arms, doors, and amenities. Whatever has shaped a life, will fit into the outreach we’ve meticulously designed. Every person that walks in our doors is a person worth celebrating. We value a person’s presence. The story. And the next step of their future that begins here.
