Union City Church⛪ — Attraction in Washington

To know Union City Church is to live their tagline- "A church united in a world divided." Founded with Biblical principles, it's not conservative or progressive. It's a church that pushes people toward Jesus so that congregants can be bridge builders and a witness to Washington, D.C. That's who Union City is at their core. Now for the details.

1. Service: There are two services- 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. every Sunday. Each service starts with 3-4 songs for worship with lyrics projected onto a main screen and two side TVs. Announcements are made by various members of the congregation. Sermons are around 30-45 minutes and are steeped in Scripture. The wife-husband team takes turns preaching and both are equally gifted communicators and orators. Each service ends with a reading of the Union City liturgy. (It's the liturgy- how Biblical and bridge-building- that first convinced my family to make Union City our home.)

2. Atmosphere: Union City Church is intentional about creating a welcoming space. Greeters with "welcome" signs say hi to you as you walk in and the lobby is set up with places to sit and connect with people, coffee/water/juice, and the "Connect" area for people who want to go deeper in the church. When my family and I were visiting churches, Union City was the most genuinely friendly.

3. Location: After renting space at two different locations, they have their own building just up from The White House along 16th Street NW. Built at the end of the 19th century, the building is stunning inside and out.

If you're a Christian and want a church family, consider going to Union City Church. It's led by the most thoughtful and integritous people, filled by kind congregants, and is intentional about serving the...

Union City isn’t just a Church - it’s community - it’s family - it’s unity - it’s a vibe. I moved to DC from Tampa 2 years ago, and the one thing that I have been missing the most is a Church and Community that felt like what I left behind. I’ve been searching for a Church home ever since. Finding Union City has given me back something I’ve been missing - and I finally feel like I am home again.

This is a new church that’s just getting started in DC, but based on their heart for this City, the atmosphere of the gatherings, and the kindness, knowledge and professionalism of the Pastors and their launch team - you’d never know they’ve only been here for a few months.

The Church itself will launch in September but to prepare they have already started hosting small group Bible studies, worship nights, community socials, serve days, and more. The messaging from the Pastors at the pre-launch events is relevant, relatable and real. The vibe is always positive, easy, zero pressure, judgement free and incredibly welcoming.

There is something at Union City for everyone - no matter what season of life you are in, or where you are in your walk with faith. I have already met some of the most amazing friends here, who I know will be lifelong. I am so grateful for Pastor Brandon, Pastor Delaney, and this amazing community. I cannot wait to watch this Church...

Couldn’t figure out the best time to write this review. I started attending this church in July 2022, two months after I had just moved to DC. I immediately felt welcomed and enjoyed the message those first few Sundays but wanted to give it more time. Fast forward, 7 months later, I am part of the serve team, looking forward to every Sunday, and finding genuine community within this church. And this is coming from a true introvert, which I think says a lot. I share many of the messages (which are uploaded to YouTube) to friends who live outside of DC, and they all want to attend when they visit. I am so excited to see this church continue to grow! Really happy to be a...
