National City Christian Church

Designed by prominent architect John Russell Pope in Neoclassical style, the National City Christian Church is a sight to behold. Located in Washington DC at Thomas Circle, NW.

More info and background at Architect Design. Built in 1930 and finished in the 1950s. Prominent Presidents LBJ and Garfield were members here. They even have their own stained glass windows. A little unorthodox perhaps, but beautiful.







Full immersion baptistry. They accept infant baptism, but don't practice it; they usually wait until the "age of consent".


They Looooooove their organ. This whole place is one big organ showplace.




Very impressive white stone exterior. Very. Tall.
