Ministry

A Church is a place of ministry. It is a place to be ministered to and a place to minister to others. At Embassy Church we receive ministry and we give ministry. We receive ministry from God and each other. And we give ministry to God and each other, as well as our city and world.

At Embassy Church we are served, and we serve others, through the following ministries:

Celebration Church Services

Many people feel that church services are boring. And to be painfully honest, they often have good reason to think so. But that is not how church services started, nor how they should be today. A little known fact is that Christians originally began to meet on Sunday for worship because they were coming together to celebrate the resurrection. That is right, “CELEBRATE”! So then, to the surprise of many, a church service is supposed to be a celebration!

At Embassy Church we gather on Sundays to celebrate: who God is and what God has done – and will do! We celebrate our blessings and answered prayers. We celebrate our relationships with God and each other. We celebrate the ministry we receive on Sundays. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper, water baptisms, Spirit baptisms, healing, and miracles. And we celebrate what God has done during the week in our Cells, Encounter Weekends, School of Leaders, and Outreaches. You are invited to come celebrate with us what God has done, and will do, in YOUR life!

Sunday Church Family Prayer 10:30 a.m.
Sunday Celebration Worship 11:00 a.m.
On Sunday morning we gather together to celebrate what God has done in our lives and ministries during the past week.
Final Friday Worship and Prayer 8:00 p.m.
On the final Friday of each month, we gather together to pray for our lives, our church, our ministries, our city, our nation, and our world. We pray for miracles, healing, salvation, deliverance, revelation, provisions, peace, reconciliation, and spiritual empowerment.

God Encounter Weekends

Throughout the pages of the Bible we read about men and women who had a life-changing encounter with the living God. At Embassy Church we see this happen today on a regular basis at our weekend “God Encounters”! On God Encounter weekends women’s and men’s lives have been saved and set free; relationships have been mended; marriages have been restored; addictions have been broken; emotional wounds and physical illnesses have been healed; while people experience a closeness with God and with others like never before in their life experience.

Our next God Encounter Weekends will be in 2020. If you have been on an Encounter Weekend before and would like to serve others for the upcoming God Encounters, please contact the church office today.

Family Groups

The two great commandments of Jesus were, “follow me” (i.e. be my disciples), and “go into all the world and make disciples”. Small Groups of 4-12 people (we call “Family Groups”) are the primary avenue for people in our church to become disciples of Jesus and to make disciples of Jesus. Jesus brought us the message of salvation and changed our world largely by entrusting His life and teachings to a small group of men and women (Luke 8:1-3).

By following Jesus's example through Family Groups, friendships develop, people grow strong spiritually, prayer happens, Bible study happens, miracles happen, salvation happens, healing happens, people care for people, the Church grows, the kingdom of God grows, and then … we all celebrate together on Sundays.

For more information on how to join a Family Group, please contact our Family Group Coordinator Sabrina, or contact one of the FG leaders below:

Life Classes

Each semester, we offer several Life Classes (think Sunday School for adults) for the growth, development, and enrichment of our community. From classes on parenting and marriage to finances and worship, we believe in the importance of coming together to learn how Jesus's principles inform every area of life.

For more information on our current Life Class schedule, please feel free to contact the Church Office at 202-363-4090 or [email protected].

Outreach Events and Ministries

When Jesus came to this earth, He said that His mission was to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). To accomplish that, Jesus spent a lot of time with people. As representatives of Jesus (II Corinthians 5:20), we also are constantly looking for ways to connect with people. A great way to do that is through the many outreaches we provide. These events and activities provide an opportunity to invite people to a Family Group, God Encounter Weekend, or Celebration Service. There they can connect and grow in a personal and shared relationship with God.
