Answering God’s Call In Our Community and the World
Service to our Capitol Hill community and the world beyond is a valued part of the life of our congregation. In addition to encouraging members to engage in their own acts of service and ministry, we regularly participate in organized ministries led by the Outreach Committee.
Our current partners and volunteer needs can be found below, but if you have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to send them to the office for forwarding to Committee Chair Eleanor Billington.

The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys was organized as the Episcopal Diocese of Washington’s response to the serious educational challenges facing African American boys in low-income communities in the DC area.

The school is supported by the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, Episcopal parishes, and individual donations.

CC+WP works closely with Good Neighbors Capitol Hill – an organization comprised of eight diverse Capitol Hill congregations – to welcome and support refugees being resettled to the DMV area.
