Human Resources (HR) Director
13 Days Old
Our church is home to people as different as the many people represented in Washington DC. We are multicultural and multiethnic. We are Republican, Democrat, Independent. We are rich and poor and in-between. We believe that something is happening here that goes beyond political ideology, beyond ethnic identity, beyond cultural affinity. We believe that we are part of something bigger that God is doing. Something that has not yet been seen in all of human history: a united community full of worshipping disciples from every tribe, every nation, every tongue. We affirm that the purpose of this and every church is to make those disciples.
