The Council of Churches of Greater Washington welcomes every congregation across the DMV to worship, serve, and share resources together — one body across many traditions.
Our Calling
A branch of the National Council of Churches, we have been rooted in the Greater Washington region for more than 100 years — welcoming every church that shares the call to serve.
Cultivating dialogue, prayer, and shared worship across Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, Catholic, Orthodox, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and independent traditions.
Connecting pastors and lay leaders with grants, training, and mutual-aid networks so no congregation serves alone.
A collective voice for justice, housing, and the flourishing of every neighborhood in the nation's capital region.
Community Gatherings
Prayer vigils, film screenings, and fellowship across the region. Every event is open to any church, denomination, or neighbor who wishes to join.
Join us for a virtual community meeting with Interim Chief of Police Jeffery W. Carroll of the DC Metropolitan Police Department, hosted by Calvary Episcopal Church. All are welcome.
