Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill church of Christ is near and dear to our hearts.  We have been serving there for close to four years.  We met there and we got engaged here as well. We have seen the kids and families there grow physically and spiritually.   We have become very close to the families there.  We have made strong friendships with some of the teens and parents there.  We have even "adopted" a few of the toddlers there as well.

We are used according to God's message at Capitol Hill. 

In Matthew 25, Jesus says to feed and cloth the poor.  We are doing that at Capitol Hill.  We have a food pantry, medical clinic, and clothing center on site for our members and the surrounding community.  While the volunteers there are meeting the physical needs of our members there has always been a need to help those that are hurt by others or in addiction.  Many years of prayer have gone into looking for a program to provide resources for these hurts and habits.

Near the end of last year, Micah and Andrew came up with a plan to help the members at Capitol Hill.  We began men and women's step study with Capitol Hill members as well as the Landing for the teenagers in January of this year.  We plan to start a Celebrate Recovery later this year to assist the members and surrounding community.

Capitol Hill church of Christ has always been a resource for those that come there.  It may be the only resource for those hurting and now we are able to provide another method to show God's love.  God calls us to love others as ourselves and to love those different from us.  Here is an opportunity to do that, whether caring and loving on the kids, feeding them possibly their only meal of the day, or providing help to get out of their damaging habit or hurt.


Grateful Believers,
Braden and Erin
