Foundry United Methodist Church⛪

The staff there are exceptional and very kind, they made me feel comfortable and hopeful.

My first visit to a Methodist Church in USA (I am from GB) It was a truly wonderful experience and I so look forward to returning to DC so I can attend another service.

Foundry is a modern, progressive and inclusive church that I recommend anyone to see whether live in the sanctuary or online. It is very refreshing to hear the word from a female perspective as well and it is the Methodist Church that allows that opportunity to happen. ❤️ 🙏

Nice stained glass windows, modest dome, upper and lower tier seating, excellent organ. Services are welcoming to all, two services Sunday, last one 11.15am. Regular priest Ginger Gains Cerilo. Gives dynamic, well though speeches that are relevant to today and hold you attention. Simultaneous sign language. A well rehearse choir, male and female, often, sing special pieces. Some events also add strings and would wind. Sunday's are stimulating and thoughtful. Access for handicapped, and the service can be viewed from a side room on TV. The service is also transmitted. After service coffee and sometimes light lunch. Several programs on social and religious topics are held after the services. The church runs a program Saturday mornings to help homeless for clothes but primarily assist in getting documents, birth certificates etc. Starts at 8am use side entrance. Services are well attended 200 to 300 estimate. Uplifting experience and open to absolutely all.

A peaceful positive empowering diverse service that energizes me after each visit. I started attending Foundry over 13 years ago when I first moved to DC and immediately felt at home and welcomed. I have never joined, but still attend once a month or so and consider it my home church here in DC. Oh, and it's a lovely structure on top of it all.
