It's an engaging, welcoming, open, progressive place actively committed to social justice, with room for everyone to get involved or just enjoy fellowship. Its pastor, Charlie Parker, leads with just the right combination of intellect, warmth, and humor - in his sermons and in person - while choir director Bruce Caviness brings jaw-dropping talent to the music program. (Best Easter-Day Widor's Toccata in the city?? I THINK SO.) As the national Methodist church, it was the regular place of worship for presidents Grant and McKinley. (Both of them attended in the old building, which was near the center of the city, but don't worry: the "new" one - finished in 1932 - is still one of the city's most beautiful.) Don't let the fact that Boy Scout Troop 666 meets in the basement fool you (666! Seriously! In a church basement!) - this place does God's good work, and I'm so glad to have grown up in its shadow.

Sacred Arias II Concert The entire program was conceived of,…read moreproduced, and performed by B. Jackson Caesar, tenor, who invited a few of DC's best musicians to work with him. Starting with narration by Erik Dellums, Jackson gave us music to enjour and an evening to remember. Everyone left with a smile, likely resulted from the soaring & beautifully sung notes at the top of the tenor range, the forceful and joyous sound of Patrick Lundy & the Ministers of Music, and the Symphonic Orchestra providing musical depth and lovely sounds to supplement the organ, played by Evelyn Curention, and the piano, played by Alma Sanford. The church is a lovely structure that accommodated hearing every part of the music from every seat. The minister, Charles Parker, was delightful and brief. Jackson, who sings at this church regularly, proved a star in every aspect and I can't wait for Sacred Arias III! Congratulations on this well-attended and well-received program!

One of the most welcoming churches I have ever been to in my life!…read more The service is started with showering the room with love and happiness through religious-based modern music (eg. Elevation Authority Workshop), followed by greeting 5 people that you have never met paired with a snack, praying for those who had submitted praying request, and then the actual service. What is different about this review is that I am actually agnostic in belief and not that religious. I come to this church because I am open to learning more about religion, I absolutely love the environment, and a lot of the teachings that they state could be applied to anyone's life. I love how they take one passage from the Bible and apply it to everyday in a very modern way, such that we are all inspired to always improve ourselves. After service, they sometimes have a little snack you can help yourself to. I was here during the soup season! In addition, if you go downstairs, they have tea, apple cider, and coffee. If I live here, I'm definitely choosing this place as my long-term church!

Thankfully, a friend's son told me about WIC and it has been a blessing. It has a small congregation, about 80 people, but very close, warm and welcoming. The music is good, the preaching/teaching is outstanding, and there's a great mix of age groups, bringing together both life-long Christians and new believers. Getting to the church is easier now that I have a car, but the bus drops you only two blocks away on Wisconsin. Definitely worth checking out if you are new to town or looking for a place to renew you faith.

They act like its a family picnic time than a church service. I have hearing loss and it makes it harder for me to hear and families with crying babies and kids talk to the point you can't even hear. And the pastors showed no concern at all for the distraction. If you actually want to a church that you can hear and not be constantly distracted please go elsewhere. They don't care about people hearing the word.
