The Pentecostal-based National Communities Church hopes to have a location "strategically positioning the church between Georgetown University and George Washington University" by Sept. 30 in Georgetown. The NCC, also affiliated with the Assemblies of God, is best known for renting out theaters for Sunday services. The pastor's blog reads that "Georgetown is a unique demographic. There are 32,000 students within a ten block radius of the theater. And you definitely have your Who's Who of Washington." Not sure if that means they'll be targeting the campus for members, but I suspect the subject has come up within Campus Ministry. www.churchexecutive.com/Page.cfm/PageID/9771 |

"A flourishing church of twenty-somethings announced its newest multi-site launch in one of the toughest places in Washington, D.C. – Georgetown" looks like they understand the area very well Well, it may actually be one of the toughest places in D.C. from the view of an evangelical church. Georgetown is populated by Catholics and liberals in the Northeast tradition, two groups not know for their hospitality to evangelical protestantism. I'd agree that it's an extremely challenging spot for this church to carve out a niche. |
