The town of Hyattsville straddles U.S. Route 1 in Prince George’s County, just northeast of Washington, D.C. The church building is on the south side of East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410), between Route 1 and Queens Chapel Road (Maryland Route 500). Our meeting place is convenient to public transportation (by Washington-area standards), and we wish to encourage the use of bus, Metro (subway) and carpools.

If you would like to visit and do not have access to private or public transportation, contact the church office. We may be able to refer you to an attender or member from your neighborhood who can share a ride. We hope that these directions will help you find our meeting place. If you have any difficulties, please call the church at the phone number listed above.
