• Summary:Founded in 1842 and consecrated in 1852, the Church of the Epiphany stands three blocks east of the White House on land acknowledged as ancestral to the Anacostan, Piscataway, and Nacotchtan peoples; its historic sanctuary — once a Civil War hospital and the site of a funeral attended by President Lincoln — is open to visitors Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM. Music is central to life at Epiphany: a recently restored 64‑rank, 3,467‑pipe Aeolian‑Skinner organ, a nine‑foot Steinway concert grand, a professional-sectioned choir, and a free Epiphany Tuesday Concert Series (12:10 PM) draw audiences, and the bells have rung for every U.S. presidential inauguration since Coolidge. The parish combines that musical life with robust outreach — operating The Welcome Table Café and a weekly Sunday breakfast for people experiencing homelessness, running an Epiphany Mission Center that sleeps up to 40 overnight guests, and hosting community groups (AA, NA) and ADAMS Jumuah prayers. Practical visitor amenities include a columbarium, a Chartres‑pattern labyrinth (open during visiting hours), multiple rentable event spaces, Sunday Eucharist at 10:00 AM with livestream/Zoom options, and parish office hours Monday–Friday 10:00 AM–4:00 PM; the church is easily reached via Metro Center (13th St. exit).
