Before being a member of GCCC, I was church hopping for 2 years. I feel like there aren't enough…read moreinfos or perspectives about churches nowdays, hence, here's my quick thoughts about this church. GCCC's denomination is under Christian & Missionary Alliance that typically specialize about missionary efforts. About 200sh people show up every week - mostly young Koreans and Chinese working professionals (20s to 30s) + some families (15-30 kids) + college students. Coming from a legalistic church, I've been blessed with the pastors here & their grace based sermons. Pros: (1) The community aspect's great. The members are quite active & are always down to hang out. A lot of the members tend to move here from other cities. Due to this, they don't have much safety blanket to fall on, hence, they tend to give more efforts to get to know people / make friends in their new environment. (2) Small groups are a great way to find accountability as well as getting plugged into the church. (3) Currently, GCCC has both local mission partners & international mission trips opportunities (Spain, Cambodia) with ample serving opportunities at the church as well. (4) Metro accessible; This church's located inside Hilton Doubletree hotel & service starts at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays. Cons: (1) With this church being close to DC & filled with the younger professionals, some of the people do tend to come and go (temporary positions, internships, etc). At the same time, we do have many people that've stayed here for a long time. (2) Some of the more popular small group locations can be more packed than others. Tips: If you're a newcomer, just tell that to the ushers (we wear tags) in the welcoming table. I know it can be awkward / intimidating being the new guy in a church - you're not sure who to talk to, especially since many people break in convo groups. You can always just approach the ushers after service; We can answer any questions you might have, help you get plugged in, introduce you to our pastors or just chat & get to know you.

I used to attend this church regularly and serve on several ministry groups.

Separate church and State. It's a mistake to mix the two. Also, the quality of the church went downhill through the torrent of pastors and settled on one who doesn't fit the area or my needs. By my standards, he's a stale, pale, male, and his preaching was exclusionary. His answer would be (I've heard it) to "don't ask him, ask God; read your Bible." I have. I'm glad not to have the leadership of souls in my hands, it's true. However, when I arrived at this church, I was so impressed with the teaching and the ability to remain silent where the Bible remains silent on topics. I specifically remember Lon saying, "Where the Bible is silent, we can have opinions, but we must remain silent as leaders and counsel prayer." It's clear that Lon has opinions. He's made them clear and public now, but not when I attended MBC. When that ended, so did my attendance at this church.

Traditional in style it was a great group of folks that are seemingly eager to move into the future with great energy. What a blessing to also have such rich history as part of the community. I met quite a few folks who had been there for a while as long as many who were recent additions. Always a good sign. As of this post, they have an interim pastor and are looking for a new Head of Staff. Give them a try as good things are surely ahead of them. Disclaimer: I give every church a five just because not every church is perfect but it is a five to someone AND I will never review a church that I wouldn't try myself if I were looking. No need to bad mouth freaky churches because they are uh, well, freaky.

My husband and I do not attend Providence Baptist Church in-person, but we view online. (We live in…read moreSouthern California and met Daniel and his family when he was a pastor at Harvest.) We were privileged to be in a small group in Daniel's home where he led studies in Romans and 1 Corinthians. Also, Daniel oversaw the Deepening Your Faith/Apologetics ministry that gave us a solid foundation for our Christian worldview. Daniel takes to heart 2 Timothy 2:15 and carefully and correctly explains God's Word. God has used him to teach us how to study the Bible - exegesis/seeking the original intended meaning of text. As believers, we should steer clear of those teachers who make the Bible say whatever they want (eisegesis). With Pastor Daniel, you will get God's Word carefully taught for His glory. (The hubby says, "Daniel teaches deep biblical truth in a way that it is easy to understand - truly an anointed teacher.") During a Bible study, I remember Pastor Daniel saying, "Much of the New Testament is about loving the brethren." Loving the brethren can't be done in isolation. You will be loved well and will be able to love others at Providence Baptist Church.

If you hear how much they have sacrificed for God and where…read morethey have served, you can see they really live out a life of service and love sharing the gospel to people who have been neglected. They use to live in the ghettos of Boston where there were as many funerals there as there are wedding in DC. They opened their house to the neighborhood children who often didn't have enough to eat or needed a safe place. On a side note regarding the post on Chinese New years, all the Christians I know in China and Taiwan celebrate Chinese New Years because it's a time to connect with family and friends and to share and tell them how much you love them. It's not easy being Christian in China and some of them have given up professions, suffered persecution, and are barely scrapping by, but they celebrate Chinese New Years....maybe differently from others....like with prayer and church services along with visiting family, feeding and helping the poor and witnessing to them. Chinese Christians definitely celebrate and share Christ's love during the two week national celebration!

Having 3 different services is a plus too, and I haven't had any issues finding parking on the street. There's free coffee and snake before and after service, and an overflow area outside the sanctuary for watching services as well.
