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!

The church service was beautiful, featuring hymns, responsive readings, and expository teaching. It…read moreembodied everything my husband and I had been searching for in a church. 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.

Wow. God has really Wowed me at this place. Not because of the pretty red curtain surrounded around…read morethe theater, or the little red chair that fit me perfectly to sit in, or the size of the stage that fits the whole worship team band or the size of the big enough size of theater screen that function perfectly for me to be able to clearly read the lyrics of the worship songs we sing that night. But because what had happened that night, the word of 'wow' was not even enough to describe God's awesomeness that night. I want to share with you my experience a few of month ago attending service at Barracks Row. It was Saturday evening, I Initially I planned to attend the young adult that was started at 5 PM. But then I heard the announcement for the second service at 7:14 PM, so I decided to continue to attend the second service without clearly knowing it was actually a special event at that second service. I thought at that time, Ok, I don't mind to continue, I will take my break, have some cake, and back for the second round. :) So I did. I stop at one of the restaurant around there, kick back, have a cup of tea and a slice of yummy Tiramisu, wait a little to get in to the 7:14 PM service. It was started with a great praise and worship, and times goes by, next after that Pastor Mark sharing the word of God and then followed by praise and worship again. Then, time goes by again, I look at my the time, it was 8:45...man...at that time, I was wondering, when is this service will be end? :) Don't get me wrong, I love being there, I was a bit concerned at that time, will it be safe enough to walk out and to get home after that, considering the area surrounding is still progressing and improving. And then I hear Pastor Mark say something like in the next 11 hours we all going to be in the presence of God to hear God's word and to praise Him. OmG! The light bulb went off! At that time I realized, Man! This is an overnight praise and worship! I am attending the all night long praise and worship! Great! I thought to my self. I can't help to smile at that time. I feel like God saying this to me: this is the time for you to hang out with Me. Sit still, in peace and enjoy My Presence. If you can spend all that night hours to party, out and about, stay awake and dancing all night long, this is My turn for you to sit in My Presence and worship Me. I can't help it to even have a bigger smile. I thought to my self, "Great! What am I getting my self in to?" ~ again, this is one of those wow moment in life. :) Life is like a box full of surprises for me anyway. It's always an adventure. :) And I thought, You got me God! Yes! He got me good. :) As I know my self well, sometimes, even though I actually plan to do just one thing, but when I face the situation or an invitation to do another things that also important and necessary, I usually stick with it, continue and to do it all the way. :) I was certainly at the point of no return at that time. I went all in and all the way to worship Him that night. :) I am really glad I did it, I feel blessed to be in that place at that time to praise God, to be a part of a celebrations of God. :) After all He did for me, for all His blessings, for His Love and mercy to me, as He is never give up on me all this time, this is the least thing I can do, to worship Him, to honor Him with my time, to sit and to enjoy His presence. I thank God for those moments and I smiled and I said: It is well. It is well with my soul. :) So for all of you my fellow Yelpers around Washington DC Metro area who is looking for a place to worship every Saturday and Sunday. This Church is one of the good options in the city, as one of a good Bible base Church in the city. And you can come as your self, you can dress casual but decent or even get a little dress up. :) And perhaps, as the non Church building can be less intimidating to enter to for some of us. :) Enjoy the sermon. :) Peace and blessings to you! :)

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.
