First Congregational United Church of Christ

About this church

First Congregational United Church of Christ is a downtown Washington, DC, congregation at 945 G Street NW, at the corner of 10th and G. Worship takes place Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and on Zoom, and a recording is posted on YouTube Sunday afternoons. The order of worship includes a call to worship, hymns, a unison prayer, passing the peace, Scripture reading, a sermon, joys and concerns, the Lord's Prayer, and a closing blessing. Music is led on pipe organ or piano, with a choir during the academic year. Communion is shared on the first Sunday of the month, and children are welcome at the table.

A children's moment sometimes opens the service before children move to Sunday school classrooms on the second floor. The building is LEED certified and accessible to people with disabilities. Justice and service are central to the congregation's life: every Tuesday night the church hosts a drop-in center for young adults who are unhoused or precariously housed, and members take part in homework assistance, advocacy for affordable housing and migrants, and racial justice work. Weekly and monthly newsletters, a church calendar, and a Sunday bulletin are posted online, and a visitor form lets guests join the email list. The church was founded in 1865 and belongs to the United Church of Christ. Confirm details with the church office before visiting.
