HOW DO I GET THERE?
       Plane, Train, or Automobile. 

       Take the Blue Line to the Van Dorn Street station. Once through the turnstiles, turn right and follow signs towards the buses (do not exit left towards Kiss and Ride).  Follow the sidewalk past the buses and to the street.  Turn right and walk several blocks (6-8 minutes).  The church is in an office building on the right, at 5200 Eisenhower Ave.  Enter the building through doors on the left side.

 

       Take 495N towards Baltimore to the Van Dorn Exit.  Once you have taken the ramp, get the in one of the left two lanes to turn left onto Van Dorn.  Go to the next light and take a right onto Eisenhower Ave.  We are located at 5200 Eisenhower Ave.

       We're closest to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.  From there you can take the metro to Van Dorn Street or someone can pick you up.

 

 

 

WHAT IS THE ORDER OF SERVICE?
       We begin at 10am with pre-service fellowship and setup.  Typically, people begin arriving for the 11am service around 10:45.  We have coffee, bagels, and donuts before settling in for service and worship.

 

        A typical Sunday service consists of singing, followed by a 20-25 minute talk or “sermon” that delivered by Pastor Niki, or another speaker for the day.  We usually follow the sermon with a small group discussion of the topic.

 

        At 12:30pm, we break for afternoon fellowship and some people go out to lunch with each other, or do other fun activities, like go swimming or play games.  We usually wrap up between 1 and 1:30pm.  Event details are posted on our website. You are welcome to join us for any or all of these events, and to come and go as you please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHO WILL I MEET?
         All kinds of people join us for fellowship, ranging from people who have been Christians all their life to people who have just started exploring their relationship with God.  We all have one thing in common -- we seek to develop and deepen our relationships with God and with one another.

 

 

 

WHAT DO I WEAR?
         We tend to be a casual crowd.  Most of us come in weekend clothes, and we kick off our shoes at the door.  That said, you are welcome to dress up and leave your shoes on, if you prefer.  Jesus asks us to come to Him just as we are, so that's our dress code.  We come to Him as we are, whether we are in suits or in jeans.

 

 

 

WHAT ABOUT KIDS?
          We love kids!  You are welcome to bring your children with you -- we will have childcare and children’s church available for you, or they can sit with you during the service.  Our children's program is called Kingdom Kids, and we aim to develop our children into spiritual champions!

 

 

 

 

Some of our core values are fellowship and being the body of Jesus 7 days a week, so many of our church activities center around fostering relationships with one another and meeting the needs of people in our body and in our community. Our primary vehicle for achieving these goals is through our Lighthouses -- groups that function like small churches that are an extension of our larger body.  Information on our Lighthouses can be found on our website in the "Ministries" section.

 

We also have monthly women’s events and men’s events. In addition, we have ministries to the poor, the captive, and the orphaned (called our Cornerstone Ministry). 

 

 

        Only if you're offering!  Seriously, we believe giving joyfully of 10% or more of our income is key to spiritual growth, but it's totally voluntary.  We do not require or pressure guests to tithe.
