Glen Mar Church Welcomes New Pastor

Glen Mar, a United Methodist Church, welcomed a new pastor in July 2025.

Our mission at Glen Mar Church is Praising God, Growing Disciples, and Serving the World. That means we are constantly seeking to love God with our hearts, learning about God with our heads, and serving God with our hands. No matter how you join us, whether online, hybrid or in person: You are welcome here.

In July 2025, Glen Mar welcomed Rev. Chris Dembeck as its new lead pastor. Pastor Chris joins the Glen Mar community after serving in pastoral roles at Halethorpe-Relay and Orems United Methodist churches in the suburbs of Baltimore over the past 11 years.

Pastor Chris’ ministerial gifts are preaching, teaching, and loving people right where they are in life. His ministry focus at Glen Mar will include continuing to further their mission statement of “Praising God, Growing Disciples, and Serving the World.” You can check out Pastor Chris' welcome video on our YouTube page: https://youtu.be/--NRrzj5eoc?si=_3Sbjr2YficSuPq2
