Serve Our City

Our Mission

There are many ways for you to serve the city! God has called us to:

proclaim Jesus as Lord and Savior,
care for the vulnerable, and
build up the church.

You can do these every day, and participate in events at National from monthly sandwich making for the homeless, to supporting missions as you celebrate Christmas. In addition, download a copy of our Mission Prayer Calendar to pray each day for our mission partners in DC and around the world.
