Worship

A typical worship service includes:

  • 3-5 songs

  • Prayers composed by members of our community, as well as older liturgical prayers

  • Weekly Communion, open to all who wish to participate

  • 75-100 People

  • A diverse community that includes women, LGBTQ & BIPOC people leading worship and preaching

Our worship style is mainly contemporary and informal, featuring drums and guitars instead of robes or organs. We embrace a "liturgically promiscuous" approach, incorporating worship elements from diverse traditions and cultures within our congregation.

We intentionally use a variety of pronouns to refer to God, including She, They, and He. We feel that this better represents God’s nature. You can listen to this sermon to hear why.

KIDS

At our Fort Totten location, Nursery is available for children birth through 3. Children 3 and up are invited to stay in our main worship service for the first couple of songs. They are then dismissed and taken to their classrooms to be picked up at the conclusion of the service. You can find out more about TableKIDS here.

We do not currently provide childcare at our Downtown location.

Getting Inside DC Bilingual

There are three main entrances into DC Bilingual. There are two entrances available from the parking lot. The large glass atrium is the “main entrance.” There is a wheelchair lift available. There is also an elevator entrance closer to the driveway.

The front door entrance, facing Riggs Road and the sidewalk, does require stairs.
