  Solid worship and Dever is one of the best preachers in the nation. Consistently faithful to biblical and evangelical orthodoxy

  Capitol Hill Baptist Church is a peak of church function and practice, relying on God and the scriptures for running services and Church life, and trying to make everything about knowing Jesus. The loving community is very large and ethnically diverse. While it takes time for you to be integrated into the Church upon calling this church yours due to the amount of people and visitors always around the church, the process of membership ensures that nobody gets left out or is treated unequally. Committing to be a member here I discovered is how the pastoral staff and plurality of elders knows you want to grow in friendships and fellowship in this Church and that you are staying around. This Church specializes in ecclesiology, training members and interns, and how the gospel is at the center of everything important, being essential to life or death. Organic outreaches, ministry, discipleship, and growth is encouraged and sustained by its large member base. You will find that most members come back even for the 5pm prayer/evening service (different content from the morning one) and also that members are committed to attendance and prayer. Head Pastor Mark Dever, an elder, or a visiting elder/pastor gives thought engaging sermons that are expositional and based on the text strictly, not wandering into myths or relying on tradition. Dever is very intelligent, a graduate of Duke/Cambridge, who's friendly demeanor and loving concern for his congregation, encourage introspection and growth in believers. Non-Christians are very welcome here and are treated no different than believers, while being encouraged in the sermon to think deeply about the realities and truths that govern our shared world, and what the Creator did to demonstrate his love for us, and why that is everyone's concern, whoever you are. I have just started going there a year or so, came looking for a church, and, after trying many different ones, was blessed to find this one.
  
  (Bonus Visitor's Information: 9:30am Core Seminars (Adult Sunday School Classes, 10:30am Main Service, 5pm afternoon prayer/evening service, Wednesday, 7pm hour Church Bible study, Childcare available during Sunday mornings and I think other times too, Service is Contemporary in relevance and traditional in music (congregational singing is so cool to hear), Coffee and Cookies (yum) lots of young people, lots of older people, lots of different countries and ethnic groups represented, diverse political population (Reps & Dems), diverse in walks of life represented (homeless to capitol building), scientists, politicians, teachers, workers, businessmen, and more. about 1000 members, if you are visiting, come early to get a seat, there is often little extra room, but a member would be glad to offer you their seat, the nearest metro is Eastern Market (Orange, Silver, Blue lines) the bus goes near here too, Parking is hard to find, but you can find it, its free on the streets. The neighborhood is big and residential, short walk to multiple lunch options and unique shops, the capitol building, and union station. Secure Bike rack available (I bike) but I wouldn't recommend renting a bike very long (expensive). Visitors can ask any question about the sermon or something else to elders or the person who preached that day because after service they stand at the door, the preacher will be in the back right away from stage, near the cookies and staircase, ready to talk to you.)
  Bonus Bonus Information: If you are fast there are nice bakery cupcakes down stairs after service for the taking!

  This church is warm, friendly and extremely diverse in every way! I attended the Sunday evening services and found it refreshing! The dynamic with a little food served after service ends!
