Visitors
Seekers is an intentional Christian community that has grown out of the 60-year history of the Church of the Saviour. During its life, Church of the Saviour has developed a strong commitment to the priesthood of all believers... everyone has authority. Seekers has added to these traditions a commitment to shared leadership, a readiness to dialog between the faith traditions we inherited and new understandings of Christian commitment, and an invitation to all with full respect for the richness brought by people of different age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or spiritual tradition. We want to be a church for all God's people.
Worship
In many ways, we share characteristics of the early churches started by the Apostle Paul during his itinerant ministry in Asia Minor just after the resurrection of Christ. Like the Christians in Ephesus, we come from other traditions. Like them, we have heard the stories of the life and death of Jesus, and the resurrection of Christ. Like them, we have moments when we experience the presence of the Holy Spirit. And, we often remind ourselves that, like them, we are far from perfect.

Our Call
Our call is to be a "Seekers community" which comes together in weekly worship rooted in the Biblical faith, with shared leadership; and disperses with a common commitment to understand and implement Christian servanthood in the structures in which we live our lives. Read more here.
Our History
Seekers Church, along with a number of other Christian communities, was born out of the Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC. Read more here.
Get Involved
The life of Seekers has three major dimensions: inner journey, community building, and ministry (also called outer journey). Individuals are expected, over time, to grow in all three areas; Seekers Church aims at growing in all three areas. Read more here.
School of Christian Living
Groups meet on Tuesday evenings for a simple meal at 7:00, followed by the class at 8:00. This is frequently a place where newcomers are introduced to—and the congregation deepens its understandings of–a life of spiritual commitment. Click here for a current list of classes.
Mission Groups
At Seekers, the small mission group is the structure for support and spiritual accountability for living out God's call on the life of each person. Participation in a mission group is a balance of giving and receiving. Participants are called to give themselves to the group and its mission. In doing that they receive support and affirmation for their unfolding lives as Christians.
