Church of the Holy City was founded in 1846 and has been a spiritual home for people seeking a broader sense of Christianity in Washington DC. The church offers a vision of God as infinitely loving and at the core of our invisible center of being.  

Incorporating a vision of Christianity put forward by theologian, scientist, and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg, the church has been home to many people with diverse views, celebrating its 'Unity in Variety'. Believing that spiritual growth is akin to a 'spiritual birthing' toward heavenly and Christly consciousness, this church presents the Bible as the story of that inner journey toward the becoming of our new self.

The church holds that the highest form of worship is to live a useful life to the world at large. The Church of the Holy City seeks to foster that vision of usefulness within this city.
