GATHER ❯

Our church is home to people as different as the many people represented in Washington DC. We are multicultural and multiethnic. We are Republican, Democrat, Independent. We are rich and poor and in-between. We believe that something is happening here that goes beyond political ideology, beyond ethnic identity, beyond cultural affinity. We believe that we are part of something bigger that God is doing. Something that has not yet been seen in all of human history: a united community full of worshipping disciples from every tribe, every nation, every tongue. We affirm that the purpose of this and every church is to make those disciples.

Good Friday Service

Good Friday, April 3, 6:00pm
Capital Turnaround

Good Friday marks the betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, and death of Jesus. It’s a time to reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made as we anticipate the joy of Easter. Join us for a Good Friday service and communion celebration. All are welcome.

If you have kids:  We invite elementary-age kids in grades 2-5 to join their families for the Good Friday service. We believe Holy Week is an important time to intentionally invite children into the rhythms of the church community and encourage families to attend the service together. We will have child care for babies – first grade.
