Our community as believers in God is what makes our church special.
In a world of stress and incredible pressure,
we want people who come here to experience first-hand the joy we can have in Christ.
If you are a newcomer to Vision of Peace, you are not alone.
Our congregation of young adults are highly mobile, in keeping with the fast pace
of life in D.C. Almost every Sunday, we have new people coming to check us out
to see if God is calling them to make our church their home.
Sincerely, you are most welcome to be a part of our church family.
Don't hesitate to get involved as this is what will best connect you to our community.
