Included among these are: the Christian Women Fellowship (CWF); the Christian Men Fellowship (CMF); the Christian Youth Fellowship (CYF). We also have several Bible Study and prayer groups, a weekly French language prayer group, Bible Study and Prayer evening groups. Our youths are very active in leading worship.

Our Mission

The Spirit of God calls us together in witness, celebration and struggle. As followers of Jesus Christ, we seek to be a people of vibrant faith, proclaiming the Word, and serving each other and the world as a community of responsible stewards of God’s grace.

Silver Spring Presbyterian Church has a strong commitment to serving God in Jesus Christ with our whole lives and spirit. SSPC is a racially diverse, multicultural, and inclusive congregation.

Silver Spring has a history of following Jesus’ commandment to love and serve our fellow humans, with a strong commitment to mission, locally, nationally, and internationally. We volunteer at a local soup kitchen and at Habitat for Humanity.

We have a community garden on our grounds from which fresh produces are shared with soup kitchens. We support the food pantry with donations of cash and non-perishable food items and a local shelter, with clothing.
