Pillar Church of Washington, DC

About this church

Pillar Church of Washington, DC, is a Baptist church on Capitol Hill that meets Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. at 1111 South Carolina Avenue SE. Services run just over an hour: the congregation sings about four songs from a mix of hymns and newer worship music, prays, hears Scripture read, and listens to a sermon of roughly 40 minutes. Preaching is expositional, working through books of the Bible passage by passage. The church governs itself and cooperates with the New City Network, the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia and the Send Network.

After the service, people usually stay for coffee and conversation on the lower level. Children from birth through age 5 have classes during the sermon, with digital check-in and a two-worker policy, and families can tell the church ahead of time that they plan to visit. Street parking is free on Sundays, and the Eastern Market Metro station is about five minutes away. Small groups, volunteer opportunities and a section for military members are listed on the website, since the church belongs to the Praetorian Project, a group of churches near military installations. Call (202) 964-0538 with questions.
