It feels a little strange writing about a church on Yelp, but if this helps anyone else find a warm…read moreand inclusive church home, then it'll have been worth it. We spent a lot of time visiting different churches and different denominations and I'm so glad we found a home at Saint Andrew's. The community is open, welcoming, and inclusive. You don't need to be Episcopalian (in fact, I am not), or subscribe to any set of beliefs, or be of any race, creed, sexual orientation, or even dress code in order to participate fully here. The sermons are an important part of the service for me, and St. Andrew's is blessed with preachers that are engaging and thoughtful. Oh, and getting here is easy to boot: fifteen minute walk from the Metro, or plenty of parking.

UBC is a great church! I can't believe I'm the first person to review it on Yelp!…read more I first went there after not having gone to church in a loooong time, and never having gone anywhere too regularly, and I felt very welcome and at home right away! The pastor is brilliant and hilarious, and delivers a solid and inspiring message.The first time I went there I was laughing so hard I was crying, and no one told me to leave! This is a big deal for someone who found church to be kind of cold and intimidating in the past. The congregation is very diverse which is also very important to me. We live in a culturally diverse area. I want to worship with a congregation that reflects that. The music is great in that it is an array of many different styles and cultures, and uses the gifts of the members of the congregation. Well, you should just come and check it out.

University Baptist Church is such a warm and welcoming congregation. My elementary age child and…read moreteenagers love the programming for them. The music ministry is diverse and lively and the preaching is incredible. Pastor John Burns is an incredible story teller and relates it all back to scripture in a way that is accessible. I love the worship time. The congregation is diverse in many different ways. They are truly walking the path of being a community of Jesus Christ. They find ways to connect over things they hold in common rather than differences. They are engaged in community services to live out the command to help others. A great worshipping community all around.

My 12 year old daughter and my husband both turned to me and asked if we could leave, so we did. I believe in a Jesus who calls for mutual submission and equality among sexes, so District Church is not for us.

The pastors really live out the gospel. If you hear how much they have sacrificed for God and where…read morethey have served, you can see they really live out a life of service and love sharing the gospel to people who have been neglected. They use to live in the ghettos of Boston where there were as many funerals there as there are wedding in DC. They opened their house to the neighborhood children who often didn't have enough to eat or needed a safe place. On a side note regarding the post on Chinese New years, all the Christians I know in China and Taiwan celebrate Chinese New Years because it's a time to connect with family and friends and to share and tell them how much you love them. It's not easy being Christian in China and some of them have given up professions, suffered persecution, and are barely scrapping by, but they celebrate Chinese New Years....maybe differently from others....like with prayer and church services along with visiting family, feeding and helping the poor and witnessing to them. Chinese Christians definitely celebrate and share Christ's love during the two week national celebration!

Just started going to the Church and it couldn't be more welcoming. Almost everyone I have met has…read morebeen so nice to talk to and even have fellowship after mass. I met a few parishioners and we talked about coffee after mass. The parish office thought it was a great idea and now we have coffee and doughnuts after the 10am mass. They have a great choir with an organ (though I am a piano type of choir person) and they sound great. The parents who send their kids to the school seem very happy with it too. Glad I started going to HRC.

The Basilica is home to more than 80 chapels and oratories honoring the Mother of God, reflecting the ethnic heritage and diversity of the Catholic Church in the United States. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C., is America's Catholic Church, a National Shrine dedicated to the Blessed Mother, patroness of our nation. It is a prayerful house of worship, pilgrimage, evangelization, and reconciliation. Mary's Shrine invites people from across the country and beyond to share in Christ's ever-living Presence through the companionship and love of His Mother. I recently attended a week-long conference on the campus of the Catholic University of America - and this magnificent grandeur of America's Largest Catholic Church & one of the 10 largest in the world - boasts itselt as "a monument of love and gratitude, a great hymn in stone. . .as perfect as the art of man can make it and holy as the intentions of its builders could wish it to be." (Bishop Thomas Shahan) Indeed, what a spectacular experience first-hand spiritual nourishment by attending masses in both the Upper Church and Crypt church (I had gone to the Sunday 4:30 p.m. & Friday Daily Mass at 12:10 p.m.), in addition to the highlight concert of the convention week that gave us a glimpse of the many expressions of music: from the 56 bells of the Knights Tower Carrillon, to the narly 10,000 pipes of the great organs - as well as the voices of the Choir of the Basilica joined by us attendees and the faithful of both locals & tourists in the DMV region! I was able to walk around the Basilica's perimeter, as well as adorn the grounds and peruse through the many side chapels depicting Mother Mary in all cultures and heritages that represent the great devotion to the Blessed Mother around the world! In addition, the Basilica is well-kept and well-preserved, as well as secured - thanks to the many docents and security personnel that keeps visitors safe! Did I mention free parking?! I definitely would want to keep coming back here as my travels allow me!

Pastor Keith Battle delivered a powerful bible-based message. I found him relatable with a solid teaching style. I left with a page full of notes.

To me, it was church-lite…read more As far as worship services go, this one is A-ok. I could tell they were not trying to say "Jesus" or "God" or read directly from God's Inerrant Word too much because they weren't trying to scare off anyone who is unchurched and might be converted. Quite frankly, as a born-and-raised Methodist, I was slightly put-off by this 'loosey-goosey' church service. They never read the scripture lesson. It wasn't even listed on the bulletin, although some scripture references were flashed on the jumbo-tron during the 'message' (which was given by Pastor Marshall, a really young, hip fellow who appeared on stage after a long darkness, and just started talking about stress). They never had a responsive reading ***of the Bible***. They didn't play any standard-bearer religious music that lets you know you are in a hallowed place, the Lord's holy temple v(like the _Gloria Patri_ or the _Doxology_). For all I knew, I was at a concert. Especially with the Robin Thicke/Justin Timberlake look-alike fellow onstage belting out quasi inspirational ballads. But they did take up an offering. :-) But that is what I get and must accept during my summer of visiting around services. Church lite. Ha ha. We'll see what I get next Sunday.
