About Us

"Holding Forth the Word of Life" is the clear and consistent ministry of Fourth Presbyterian Church. To us, this challenge means we are called to live, preach and teach the gospel and to make and equip mature believers to live in this world. Our church offers a home for all who love the Lord Jesus Christ and also for our friends who do not yet believe. We have discovered that the gospel assures that, because Jesus Christ has lived and died in our place, though we are flawed and sinful, we can be accepted and loved. The gospel is the key to all we are and do. We believe that God has sent us to minister to our community, the nation's capital and the metropolitan area.

What to Expect

What is the community like?
We prepare God's people in this generation to live as disciples, knowing the Lord intimately, understanding His truth deeply, and demonstrating His presence by service to one another. Our church provides a friendly and encouraging environment and welcome for all, regardless of age or marital status. Yet we make a priority of families, recognizing that God has specially appointed and blessed the institution of marriage. We receive as a special charge the raising of our children and youth; their care and nurture in Christ a priority.
