An independent community committed to sharing, learning about, and celebrating our Jewish and Christian traditions.
The Interfaith Families Project of Greater Washington (IFFP) is an independent community of interfaith families and others committed to sharing, learning about, and celebrating our Jewish and Christian traditions. It is the only interfaith organization of its kind in the country.
IFFP offers many programs to meet the varied needs of interfaith families. We have a weekly program on Sunday, which includes a gathering, our Interfaith Sunday School, and an adult group discussion. Throughout the year we sponsor special events such as High Holy Days services and a women's retreat, couples workshops, and community service opportunities for members of all ages.
Now in our second decade, we have grown to over 100 families from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. It's a place where both Jewish and Christian partners can feel like equal members of the community; where both can celebrate and learn about both faiths and where we "teach not preach."
IFFP seeks to develop our children, ourselves, and our community in an environment that encourages questions and respects different answers. IFFP provides opportunities for education about Christianity and Judaism, holiday celebrations, fellowship, spiritual gatherings, community service, and exploration of interfaith identity. Learn More

Montgomery County's weekly community newspaper visited IFFP in April, talking with members about their Interfaith families.
"Nearly four out of every 10 Americans are married to someone of a different religion. As a greater number of people marry outside their own faiths, more families are left figuring out how to manage two religions in one household.
In Montgomery County, more than 100 couples meet three times a month to celebrate and understand Christianity and Judaism. Buddhists, atheists, and some without any religious beliefs belong to the group, too."
IFFP's own Mary Beth Cisneros and Michael Rosenman made an appearance in April on Interfaith Voices, the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality.
