About us

George V. Ashley Jr. is our church's Pastor.  His responsibility is to shepherd the flock of God. He is focused on the Word and work of God, knowing that he will give an account to our Chief Shepherd the Lord Jesus Christ.  We have Sunday morning worship in our church building. It is contemporary/traditional worship, with a contemporary worship band. 

We are a bible based church.  Our church is more than just a building, its a fellowship of believers gathered for the purpose of worshiping God and helping each other build ourselves up in how Jesus wants us to live. 

History

The early Christian church originally met in people's homes.  Often these 'churches' held their worship in secret for fear of persecution.  It wasn't until much later that people started going to 'meeting places' that were not homes to worship God.  God has been gracious enough to give us His Word from which we can study.  We are a church plant of Grace Memorial Church in Colmar Manor, MD.(1979). Our founding Pastor was Pastor L. Samuel Martz. At the time, he was the Senior Pastor of Grace Memorial Church. We started with bible study groups that met in homes (Weds. and Sun. nights) and our worship on Sunday was first at Lamont Elementary School, and then Washington Bible College for several years.  Eventually God provided a plot of land and many dedicated Christian workers to build our own meeting facility.  There is ample room for parking and the building and site complies with the American Disabilities Act.

We support a number of missionaries in different parts of the world.  Because we offer direct support you can be assured that every thing that you give to our church does support our missionaries in those fields.  Additionally our location in the metropolitan Washington D. C. area provides a place where people of all races and backgrounds can gather to worship our Lord Jesus Christ.
