Directions

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville is located at 100 Welsh Park Drive in Rockville. However, if you're using an old map, note that Welsh Park Drive was called “Norris Street” until a name change in 2003. Also, the church's address before the street name change was 501 Mannakee Street.
