• Website URL:https://washingtoncitycob.org
• Summary:A small, friendly, and explicitly affirming congregation worshiping in a historic Capitol Hill building at the corner of 4th St SE and North Carolina Ave SE (near Eastern Market and the US Capitol), the church dates to 1894 with the current building laid in 1899 and begins gatherings with a land acknowledgment for the Nacotchtank (Anacostan) and Piscataway Peoples. Rooted in the Historic Peace Church tradition, the community emphasizes peacemaking (including a multilingual Peace Pole and regular peace-focused work), practices the traditional love feast, and sustains an active Arts Ministry that hosts exhibitions, workshops, community art nights and an online gallery. It also operates the long-running Brethren House intentional community (since 1972) that houses volunteers for service organizations with shared dinners and communal living, and has been active in interfaith engagement and assistance to newly arrived asylum seekers. Leadership includes bivocational pastors Rev. Jennifer and Rev. Nathan Hosler, music leader Jacob Crouse, and Church Operations Manager Katie Evans; practical visitor details—accessible red-door elevator entrance (street parking only), Spanish resources, social media presence, monthly potlucks (including Queer Folx & Allies), and Spirituality & Social Justice discussion groups—are available on the church website.
