Welcome to the Back Porch! Our congregation (the Presbyterian Church of Chestertown, Maryland) started as a small group of folks gathered on a back porch in Chestertown, and imagined the day there would be a Presbyterian congregation in our town. Twenty-five years later we are here - "planted deep, growing strong, reaching wide" - and celebrating our 25th anniversary this year.

My hope is that this new "back porch" can be a place like that first one ... and also like a lot of back porches everywhere ... a place to gather, to talk, to share stories and ideas, and to explore our questions of faith together.

Come along and spend some time on the Back Porch with us.
