Mark Dever unapologetically preaches from the Word of God in a region of the country that is desperate for truth. The music was phenomenal, highlighted by natural acoustics and the voices of many joyful Christians. If you are in the DC area and need a great Church that speaks truth directly from the Bible, I would give this place a visit!

However, the community was incredibly unkind. As first-time visitors, we were unsure where to go when we arrived, and no one offered assistance. Despite seeing us looking lost, ushers and other church workers neither greeted us nor helped us find our way. When we finally located the sanctuary and asked about the children's classes, the ushers continued to walk past without speaking, and some looked at us without offering a greeting or welcome. As I walked down the hall, a woman who seemed to be either a church worker or a regular member shoved past me, looked me up and down, and continued on to talk to someone else. During our almost three-hour visit, only three people spoke to us: two ladies who sat near us and one person we happened to know. We are African American, but there were many other African Americans and people of color in attendance, which made the unkindness we experienced even more confusing. This level of unkindness and disregard was something we had never encountered in a church before. It was deeply disappointing to witness such a beautiful and meaningful service, only to see the absence of Christ's love in how the members and workers treated visitors. Despite arriving early and seeing numerous people with "usher" badges, not a single one welcomed us. My hope is that this church, with its beautiful service, learns to demonstrate the love of God they preach about by showing kindness to visitors. Training ushers to greet and welcome newcomers could make a significant difference. We had heard so many wonderful things about this church and were excited to visit. We were hungry for good theological teaching, hymns, and solid Christian fellowship. Instead, we left feeling unwelcome in the community.

I've been attending Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church (CHPC) for a little under 10 years so when my…read moreboyfriend and I decided to get married going to Andy Walton (the Minster) was a natural choice. My finance is a little uncomfortable in church for reasons that are too long to explain in a Yelp review. I think. Andy did a great job of easing him into the experience of pre-marital counseling (which the church requires if you choose to have Andy officiate your wedding). The counseling sessions were scheduled electronically and taking our schedules into consideration. Since our ceremony was small we got to choose a "quick ceremony". Andy Walton was also willing to traveling from DC to Leesburg, VA on the Saturday before Easter to officiate our ceremony (which I truly appreciated). You can rent/use the church space without having Andy Walton officiate. The wedding ceremony rules and costs are laid out pretty succinctly on the church's website. In a nutshell, if you're looking for a church in a well-known neighborhood of DC and/or officiatant for your ceremony consider using CHPC and/or asking Andy Walton.

We celebrate the gifts of God that empower us to engage boldly in the struggles of life and care for others with love, justice, and compassion." I have been attending for more than three years, and I really like this place. There is a large, active group of about 40 young adults in their 20s and 30s, and the church has lots of activities for service, worship, and fellowship (aka socializing). On Sunday, the traditional service is at 11:15 am. There also is a 10 am "Sermon Seminar" that I love: there is a Bible reading, then the rector delivers the sermon, and there is a brief period of silence. Next, there is an opportunity to stand and comment, in front of everyone, on the sermon. Often, the comments are as thought-provoking as the sermon itself. PLUS, you can have your coffee with you in the sanctuary during sermon seminar. I love it. Another fun aspect of St. Mark's is the "Pub Lunch," following the 11:15 service. This church has its very own brewmaster! Beer is served with lunch and is delicious. Gotta love the Episcopalians! There are ample opportunities to get involved at St. Mark's, whether you're seeking an inspiring worship experience, a community where you feel at home, or an opportunity to serve others. St. Mark's welcomes all: believers, nonbelievers, and those of different faiths. It truly is an inclusive, vibrant community in the heart of Capitol Hill.

I know God led me to GraceWay to help fill that void. I have grown so much in my Christian life since I have been there. Pastor Brad Wells and his family are the most giving and sacrificial people I have ever met. Every Sunday and Thursday, Pastor Brad and his family help prepare our hearts to hear from God's Word through Christ-honoring music. Pastor Brad then preaches a message straight from the Bible. God has used the music and preaching of GraceWay Baptist Church to convict me of sin and made me more useful for the kingdom of God. You will always be warmly welcomed at GraceWay. In a city where it is sometimes difficult to make deep, lasting friendships, GraceWay has provided me some of my best friends on the face of this earth. There are many opportunities throughout the week to connect through different events to fellowship with one another. GraceWay is not just a church; it's a family. If you live in DC or even if you are visiting, please come visit us. You won't regret it!
