Pathway Christian Church was founded with a simple mission: to create a place where people can encounter God, connect with others, and discover their purpose. For over three decades, we've been a beacon of hope and love in Silver Spring, Maryland.
What started as a small gathering in a living room has grown into a vibrant community of believers. Through every season, we've remained committed to our core values of authenticity, compassion, and excellence in all we do.
At the heart of our church is a simple desire to know God and walk with Him. We believe faith is meant to be lived, experienced, and shared in community. Grounded in the truth of the Bible and open to the work of God's Spirit, our beliefs guide how we worship, serve, and love one another as we grow together in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
We are founded upon the belief that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God.
We believe there is only one God. He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4
We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Through baptism we identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Scripture: Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38
We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues.

We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government.
Scripture: Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-11
