Life-Changing Stories

"Capital City Church has definitely changed the way I look at church and helped me encounter a deeper and meaningful relationship with God.  I honestly don’t know where I’d be without the love, guidance and teachings of this God-centered community.  I started visiting the church in 2003. It was during this time in college that I was seeking to re-establish and maintain a life pleasing to God.  The friendships and accountability I found went beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined.  As I continued to pursue God and fellowship with Capital City Church I learned the difference between religion and relationship. My soul hungered for the fullness of God and I found it within this loving faith filled community." -Daveisha, 26, Educator

 

"I found CCC through a small group at GW campus, at a random picnic for international students that I was reluctant to go. I just arrived in this country, having no friends and no family. Their friendship helped me walk through the hardest months in the beginning, when I was adjusting to the new environment and going through other struggles. They introduced me to CCC, to friendships and love, and ultimately to Christ. I remember last December, when I was asked about becoming a Christian, I said determinedly, "No. That'll be too much change in my life." I gave myself to Him a month later. I entered my eighth month of Christian walk today (Aug 25). It has been an awesome journey. I am very happy that I had that change in my life. I still stumble, I still fall. But I know how to get back up because I have the most awesome people and the greatest love to support me." -Mengyin, 25, International Student 

 

"God helped me to see a new perception of His love and compassion through my LifeGroup. Also it  helped me to be more compassionate and forgiving.  This brought me to grow stronger and connect to others who are in need.  Jesus is the ultimate person in my life through Life group." -AnnMarie, 55, Bookkeeper

 

 

"One of the main reasons I moved to DC was because of CCC. I lived in SC for my whole life, and when college was over, I felt pressed to make a decision; to spend the rest of my life becoming a strong and devoted follower of Christ or try to make it on my own. Every time I visited DC, I would always stick around at least until after the Sunday service because it was like having a revival in my own life each time. Once I made that decision, it was only one week later that I found myself moving to DC. I knew that this community would do nothing but help build and encourage me in my Christian walk. Now, two years later, the Lord has done amazing things! I have a loving wife, I own a house, I've gotten the vehicle of my dreams, I have friends that will stick with me "through thick and thin", I have a great job that pays for all my needs, and best of all, I've built a Godly foundation in my life that will bless me, my children, and my childrens' children for the rest of our lives. CCC has taught me and is continuing to teach me how to be, and to feel like, a strong and powerful leader. Thank you CCC" -Hunter, 24, Engineer

 

"Lies... cheating... drinking... smoking... bankruptcy... depression... bulimia... stealing... manipulation... few friends... sleeplessness... frequently sick... promiscuity... abortion... by the time CCC found me at one of their women's conferences, I was entirely broken and defeated. Met with unexpected mercy and inspired by the extraordinary life that the community embraced, I dedicated myself to God. CCC equipped me with the tools to begin anew, providing unceasing love and support in my fragility. Total Overhaul! Within a year I became a lover of God, entirely free of the burdens I once carried. The enemy intended to claim me, but God would not have it! That was eighteen months ago. Some people believe they aren't worthy of signs and wonders, I sure wasn't, but CCC loved me anyway. They guided me as the Lord healed me from the inside out. I am passionately and whole-heartedly dedicated to the Lord, only so hopeful to become a light in someone else's life." -Monica, 27, Aerospace Engineer
