Our Ministry Partners

We are compelled by Jesus’ love and the Bible’s vision that God’s message of love and salvation is good news for all people. The District Church partners with these organizations to spread that message locally and around the world.

Church Planting

Planting a church is one of the most strategic ways to reach people who are far from God. At The District Church we are called to be a multiplying church which means we are called to reproduce leaders and churches locally and globally. We believe the local church is the best way to reach the lost and respond to the injustices around the world. The Kingdom of God is much bigger than our local church and so we are honored to be in the business of praying for and raising up future church planters and investing in these new works. We want to help plant flagship churches in spiritually hard to reach areas.

La Chapelle

Led by Pastor David Portier, La Chapelle is a thriving church that is reaching a young generation of French Canadians; a population that has long been neglected by churches. This year we are helping them plant a new church in Ottawa, Canada.

Local Partners

At The District Church, our simple efforts at serving our city are rooted and grounded in love and prayer. We practice our faith by proclaiming hope and loving generously.
The District Church sends teams of volunteers to regularly serve with a variety of partner organizations located in and around the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

Little Lights Urban Ministries provides holistic ministry and services to children and families living in poverty in Washington, D.C., primarily focusing on Potomac Gardens and Hopkins, two public housing communities on Capitol Hill, as well as on Benning Terrace public housing, east of the Anacostia River in Ward 7.

Just Homes DC

Just Homes mobilizes and equips DC faith communities to live out their calling to biblical justice by meeting the housing needs of the District. We long to see a just city where everyone has a home and believe faith communities can and should play a critical role in actualizing this vision. Working together, houses of worship can significantly expand access to housing that is not only affordable, but just.

DC 127

DC127 journeys with parents who are socially isolated, overwhelmed, under-resourced, facing significant life challenges and at increased risk of instability. We mobilize churches and recruit volunteers to build a support system that preserves families and ensures that children have a safe and healthy home

Global Partners

We believe that God’s message is good news for all people, not just people in D.C., and not just for people in our region but throughout the world.

Creative Hands

Empowering refugee women to live again. Creative Hands focuses on giving women living as refugees the opportunity for employment and to create their own livelihoods. We’ve chosen to achieve this through training and production, specifically in the weaving of textiles and sewing of goods for purchase.

Food for the Hungry-Guatemala

Kids Alive-Guatemala

Kids Alive has been serving vulnerable children here since 1992. Our Source of Hope School in the poverty-stricken town of Zapote is offering holistic care, education, and the good news of God’s love to over 200 children; our Oasis programs in San Lucas and Escuintla care for girls who have been sexually abused and traumatized and need emotional, medical, legal, and educational help to rebuild their lives.

Questscope

30 years ago, Questscope was founded with the goal to put the last, first. From Jordan to Syria to Germany, we see and believe in people who have been invisible, helping them find a pathway toward a meaningful future. This looks like opening our arms to young people in places like Za’atari Refugee Camp in Jordan, where our Youth Center helps young people heal through music, art, learning, and building trusted connections with mentors. It looks like preventing a young girl from a poor family from being married at 14 through our food voucher program in Aqaba, Jordan. And it looks like creating systemic change, pioneering a first of its kind non-formal education program for dropouts. Fueled by decades of deep learning, Questscope transcends the limitations of traditional philanthropy in the region—walking alongside those whom others have forgotten

New Generation Burundi

New Generation is a non-governmental Christian organization based in Burundi and focused on preparing young people to become future leaders. It was founded by Nahimana Dieudonné in 1998 and has worked with over 10,000 young people, many of whom are now in positions of influence in Burundi.
