Community Church of Washington, DC

About this church

Community Church of Washington, DC is an inclusive, diverse, progressive Christian congregation seeking to express God’s love and build a “Beloved Community.” Its ministry combines worship, prayer, spiritual inquiry, youth and young-adult development, HIV/AIDS prevention, life-skills work, and community empowerment. The welcome emphasizes unconditional love across educational and economic backgrounds rather than one expected style of church experience.

Sunday worship begins at 11:30 a.m. at 5201 Ames Street Northeast, where streetside parking is available. The directory address on Pennsylvania Avenue is the mailing address, not the worship site. Sunday School locations and times are announced rather than fixed. Wednesday meditation and prayer is offered at 7:00 a.m. by conference call and noon by Zoom. Wednesday “Community Connections” Bible-study small groups are described online, but current dates and locations are still to be announced. Dress ranges from casual clothing to traditional Sunday attire and clerical dress. Children are welcome, though the public pages do not specify nursery care, age-based programming, check-in, pickup, or screening. Service duration, accessibility, Communion practice, music style, and Sunday livestreaming are also not published. Visitors should use the Ames Street location and confirm Sunday School separately.
