Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church

What Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church does

Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church (BHPC) is a non-profit Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation founded in 1955 and headquartered at 6601 Bradley Blvd in Bethesda, Maryland. It delivers Christian worship services, religious education for all ages, pastoral care, and community fellowship to congregants, families, and the broader Bethesda/Montgomery County community. Worship is offered both in-person (8:30am and 10:30am in program year; 10:00am in summer) and via YouTube livestream, with a church management platform (Realm) handling online giving, event registration, prayer requests, and member communications. Auxiliary programs include a nursery school, children's/youth ministries, adult education, music and choir programs, and a Friends Club for older adults.

The church shares its campus with two other faith communities — Bethesda Jewish Congregation and Maqaame Ibrahim Islamic Center — forming a unique three-faith interfaith partnership coordinated through the Inter-Congregational Partnership Committee. This co-tenancy lowers facility overhead and supports joint programming (Interfaith Thanksgiving Worship, Juneteenth activities, book discussions, youth events). BHPC also operates an extensive community outreach portfolio, including monthly meal service for Interfaith Works homeless shelters, Thanksgiving food basket distribution for 80 families via the National Center for Children and Families, grocery distribution in Anacostia, Smart Sacks weekend food bags via Manna Food Center, Bethesda Help support, an annual coat drive for Arcola Elementary School families, and the Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival.

Revenue is generated through voluntary tithes and offerings, an annual stewardship campaign, special offerings (Christmas Joy, Peacemaking, disaster relief), event fees (e.g., $20 adult interfaith brunch tickets), nursery school tuition, and the multi-year 'Here for Good' capital campaign (2026-2030). Financial figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by its Session and congregation, led by Pastor David Gray and Associate Pastor Denise Diaab, with a small program staff of approximately 11-50 covering music, children/youth, finance, nursery school, facilities, and office administration.
