Welcome

Welcome to the website for First Congregational United Church of Christ in Washington, DC! At First Church, we are a close community in the heart of the city, drawing people from the wider metropolitan area and coming together for the common good. We are people who need a spiritual home, a place of acceptance and love and respect, where we can be ourselves and become more. Together we have come to know the presence of God. We have come to count on each other. And we work with many others for a better world.

We are a Just Peace, Open and Affirming (ONA), Multiracial and Multicultural Church that has been serving downtown Washington DC since 1865! Our two previous church buildings were located on the corner of 10th and G Streets, NW, but we are sojourning while the site is redeveloped into a multi-use building with church space on the first two floors.

During construction, the congregation, including our local mission partner, ThriveDC (formerly the Dinner Program for Homeless Women), will continue at First Trinity Lutheran Church at the corner of 4th and E Streets (near the Judiciary Square Metro). Parking is available in the court lot across the street.
