Capitol Hill Baptist Church

December 2025 Our family was blessed to worship at this church near our Airbnb. I loved to sing so many hymns before our Sunday sermon. Truly a refreshing and inspiring worship experience. Even though a small parking lot but the staff was able to accommodate us. The best part, we saw many young families and young professionals worshiping here. This is a very encouraging and healthy sign. Highly recommended this church.

A wonderful place to experience the gathered people of God in this local expression in DC. The Gospel and the Word are central to everything. Family is real and diverse. Children are encouraged to discover who God is as revealed in his word through simple and helpful catechism. The elders are humble demonstrations of what a pastor of a local church can look like. Perhaps surprisingly, this church has been an immense encouragement to our small church in Darwin, NT, Australia. Please check them out if you are on the hill!

As a member of the Church of Christ, my local church feels like home—my kind of people, my inheritance in Christ. Everyone is friendly, and I’m part of that warm, welcoming atmosphere that embraces anyone who walks through the doors, inviting them into the life of the church. Does that sound like I'm bragging about myself? It’s a wonderful place where you’ll hear the Truth spoken and beautifully taught, and you’ll love the singing. We don’t have a “Christian Eddie Vedder” performing solo guitar or vocal sets in front of everyone—nope! Here, the praise is acapella and accompanied by piano, and it’s lovely. Interestingly enough, one of our associate pastors, Christian Lawrence, reminds me of a member of the Hanson band. He’s a dear friend, though he doesn’t have anymore that golden mane of hair to toss aside when he’s about to pray or read the Scriptures—kind of like Moses' mantle. Despite that, everything about the church we call CHBC is great—perhaps even better than the golden hair of Michael Lawrence, whom I’ve nicknamed ‘Brother Paul Pitt’ because he’s a mix of them both! You should come and experience it for yourself. PS. I hope you appreciate the humor. PS2. Michael Lawrence is single, that I know, and a godly young man.

Visited Capitol Hill Baptist Church with some of my church fam from Grace Church Miami and we loved spending our Sunday on vacation with another biblical community and like-minded Church. Thankful for faithful churches in other cities and pastors like Mark Dever. Sermon was on Romans 4:1-10 and Pastor Mark does something that I don’t often see; he directs and makes certain points specifically for the children sitting at service. Something special to see. This Sunday we got the “full menu” as we witnessed two new elders being placed and two baptisms. Overall great service. Sermon reminded me of this Spurgeon quote which I will leave with and it says “I have a great need for Christ: I have a great Christ for my need.”

The homeless man is back again tonight. Because of this other homeless people come to the neighborhood now. The church has done nothing to prevent him from staying down there…put up some cameras or spikes….something! People came out of the church saw him and then kept walking. Please we (the neighborhood/neighbors) are begging you to do something about this problem! It is unfortunate that we have to leave google reviews to be heard. UPDATE: evening of 3/5 homeless man is still sitting under the stairs. He lurks in the shadows and yet nothing has been done to prevent this by the church. DO. BETTER. If you say you’re part of our community then help us! We don’t feel safe. UPDATE: evening of March 29th. Homeless man is still under the stairs. The church was having an event and he was just sitting in the dark as everyone walked by. NEIGHBORS!!! If we want to feel safe and for this to be changed we have to join together. It has been almost a year with this homeless man living under the stairs. The church cont to turn an eye and look the other way. Something MUST be done. If they don’t do something I’ll do something myself because this is ridiculous.
