Union Temple Baptist Church

About this church

Union Temple Baptist Church is located at 1225 W Street SE in Washington, DC's Anacostia neighborhood. Worship is held Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, with a church prayer time at 9 a.m. The service lasts about 90 minutes, opening with congregational music, with lyrics on screens, followed by a message. The atmosphere is described as casual and relaxed, with visitors invited to come as they are. Founded in 1967 and recognized as a Missionary Baptist church, the congregation describes using Africentric perspectives in empowering people spiritually, mentally, and physically. Worship can also be watched online.

Kids ministry is offered at every service for children from infants through eighth grade, and a detailed check-in process applies on a family's first visit, so the site suggests allowing about ten extra minutes. Midweek, Deeper Dive Bible Study meets Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, and a weekday morning prayer call runs at 6 a.m. Eastern. The church partners with local organizations on social programs and ministries for members and residents of the city, as well as global missions.
