Definitely not St. Columba’s! Our family attended once and will never go back. The parishioners weren’t welcoming and the church is not racially or ethnically diverse.
In my experience, St. Columba's has been overly welcoming to racially and ethnically diverse people - perhaps because there are so few of them.

Eventually I might be interested to bring my DH and kids along. But for now, looking to start attending Sunday services and meet others.
Any recommendations? I live near Bethesda but am happy to drive up to 30 minutes in any direction.
As far as I know, St Columba's Episcopal and River Road Unitarian fit the bill regarding politics. They both have good children's programs. The Episcopalians pay at least lip service to Christianity, sing Christian music and have a Mass. River Road is more open, like all Unitarian churches.

I think you'll have to try around for fit but PCUSA or UCC might be a place to start. For me it really depends on the individual pastor. My experience with UMC has been a mixed bag based on the pastor.
