Cedar Lane offers two convenient parking lots, both free and open to guests:

Upper Lot – Best for Main Building Access

  • Approximately 100 parking spaces

  • Two entrances: one on Cedar Lane and another on Culver Street (a nearby residential street)

  • Marked by a large building sign

  • Provides easy access to the main building’s upper level

Lower Lot – Closest to Classrooms

  • Approximately 30 parking spaces

  • Also known as the Teacher’s Lot

  • Located at the corner of Beach Drive and Cedar Lane

  • Provides direct access to our lower-level classrooms

Please note: The upper and lower parking lots are not connected internally, so be sure to choose your parking location based on which part of the building you’ll be visiting.

The closest Metro stop to Cedar Lane is the Medical Center Station on the Red Line.

  • Walking: From the station, walk north about 0.5 miles along Rockville Pike (Route 355) to Cedar Lane, then head east on Cedar Lane for 0.7 miles to reach the church.

  • By Bus: Take the Ride On Bus #34, which stops near the corner of Beach Drive and Cedar Lane, just a short walk from our entrance.

Sliding Scale Guide

We know it can be complicated to decide how much to pay, and there’s no one right answer for anyone. Many thanks to UU@UN for providing an equitable model for payments.

Consider paying at a lower tier if many of these are true for you:

  • I am directly affected by environmental racism.
  • I have immigration-related expenses.
  • I’m supporting children or have other dependents.
  • I have significant debt.
  • I have medical expenses not covered by insurance.
  • I receive public assistance.
  • I am an elder with limited financial support.
  • I am an unpaid community organizer.
  • I have been denied work due to incarceration history.
  • I would need to budget in order to afford a $25 expense.

Consider paying at a higher tier if multiple of these are true for you:

  • I or my family owns the home I live in.
  • I have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money.
  • I can travel recreationally.
  • I have access to family money and resources in times of need.
  • I work part time by choice.
  • I have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.
  • In terms of its impact on my lifestyle (e.g. my ability to pay this month’s bills), $50 means functionally about the same as $15. My bank account would look pretty much the same either way.


A reflection from Pronoia Coaching:

When I pay more, I know that I am helping others to access the event.

When I pay in the middle, I know I am helping the organizers cover costs.

And when I pay less, I know I am letting my community hold me and support me.

All of these are wonderful and acceptable ways of participating.
