Mosaix
We’re part of six churches in the ELCA Metro DC Synod actively working to be a more diverse church community – more like the vision of the heavenly kingdom described in Revelation 7:9 …and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.
Typical schedule: Implementation team meets monthly

New Connections
As part of the ELCA Metro DC Synod’s New Connections campaign, we’ve committed to grow our congregation by 50 active participants over three years and raise $50,000 to make new connections in our community. We’ll connect deeper with one another and with God, and we’ll broaden our reach to others in our neighborhood and Alexandria.
