• Summary:Clarendon Presbyterian is an openly LGBTQIA+ affirming, progressive congregation with a long history of civil‑rights and LGBTQ activism (a More Light congregation) and a small, welcoming community of about 90 members and friends that lives out an “all means all” commitment. Worship and community life include quarterly bilingual (Spanish/English) services led by IMPACTO LGBT, a range of alternative and family‑friendly worship forms (Dinner Church, Messy Church, Playground Church), monthly community meals, game nights, and special events like a Blessing of the Animals and Narcan training. The church is deeply engaged in local outreach — its Plot Against Hunger garden yields roughly 300–500 pounds of produce annually, it partners in VOICE organizing and shelter support, and it houses long‑running programs and tenants such as the Clarendon Child Care Center and Impacto LGBT. Two blocks from Clarendon Metro (parking‑lot entrance at 1308 N Irving St), the building’s sanctuary seats about 120, the fellowship hall seats 80, and the site includes gender‑inclusive and ADA restrooms; Rev. Alice Rose Tewell (she/her) serves as pastor and is a certified spiritual director.
