Twelfth Street Christian Church

About this church

Twelfth Street Christian Church in Washington, DC, gathers for Sunday morning worship at 11 a.m. at 1812 12th Street NW. The church identifies as part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and is a member of both its National Convocation and its General Assembly. When weather is bad, the website asks people to join the Sunday morning service virtually through a link posted on the homepage, so it is worth checking there before heading out.

The congregation began in August 1914 as a small group of African American Christians who met to organize a church, and it moved and changed names several times before settling on 12th Street. The current sanctuary was completed and dedicated in 1967. During the week, the Point of Grace Bible Study meets every Wednesday from 7 to 8 p.m. The church office is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by appointment, and visitors can call (202) 265-4494 or email the church through the contact details on its website. The site also has a giving page and a page introducing the pastoral team and ministries. Service and office hours can change, so confirm them on the official website before a first visit.
