Episcopal Church of Our Savior - Hillandale, MD - Anglican and Episcopal Churches on Waymarking.com

The Church of Our Saviour, Hillandale began as a Mission of the Church of Our Saviour in the Brookland area of Northeast Washington, D.C. Soon after the Rev. Harwood Bowman became rector at Brookland in 1954, he called for construction of a new church in Montgomery County, Maryland. The new mission began in 1956, first in the Hillandale firehouse, then in the new building’s completed undercroft. On February 2, 1964, 614 people crowded into the church for its dedication. Our Saviour-Hillandale and Our Saviour-Brookland operated as one parish until 1964, when the Vestry voted to separate the congregations.

Fr. Bowman chose the Hillandale site knowing the Beltway would pass nearby. Since the new church would welcome people from “all over,” the Church of Our Saviour was established as a ‘separate congregation,’ rather than a parish. (A parish is defined by geographic boundaries; Church of Our Saviour has none.) The Diocese of Washington received Our Saviour, Hillandale as a full and separate congregation in 1966.
