About

Why are you called “The Church in Washington, DC?”

The church in Washington, D.C. is our description, rather than our name. As such, it is an inclusive title, not an exclusive one. We follow the biblical principle of gathering together simply as believers of the Lord in a city, and we receive all who believe in Jesus Christ as our brothers and sisters. Likewise, we warmly welcome guests and visitors who are not Christians.

We hold the faith which is common to all the believers:

The Bible

The Bible is the complete divine revelation inspired word by word by God through the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21)

God

God is uniquely one, yet triune — the Father, the Son, and the Spirit (1 Tim. 2:5a, Matt. 28:19)

Jesus Christ

The Son of God, even God Himself, was incarnated to be a man by the name of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, John 1:14)

Christ’s Death

Christ died on the cross for our sins, shedding His blood for our redemption (1 Pet. 2:24, Eph. 1:7a)

Christ’s Resurrection

Christ resurrected from among the dead on the third day (1 Cor. 15:4)

Christ’s Ascension

Christ ascended to the right hand of God to be Lord of all (Acts 1:9, Acts 2:33, Acts 2:36)

Salvation

Whenever any person repents to God and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, he is regenerated (born again) and becomes a living member of the one Body of Christ (Acts 20:21, John 3:3, Eph. 1:22-23, Rom. 12:5)

Christ’s Return

Christ is coming again to receive His believers to Himself (1 Thes. 2:19)
