Come and see . . .

IF YOU HAVE VISITED us in downtown Washington, we hope you will come again. If you have never visited us, we invite you to come taste and see how gracious the Lord is.

Our congregation comprises families and individuals of all ages from both the immediate neighborhood and from the larger Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Animated by prayer, worship, fellowship, and ministry, we serve our city and reach out to the world.

While we come from a variety of different backgrounds and experiences, we all seek growth in the fullness of God’s life and to deepen our relationship with one another. We are here for Christians to have a parish home, for those seeking God to explore and question, and for those feeling alienated from God to have a spiritual center.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let them that heareth say, Come.
And let them that are athirst come.
And whosoever will, let them take the water of life freely
