Seekers intentionally commits to the equality of all races, genders, and sexual orientations. We invite everyone without regard to age, education, socio-economic status, or spiritual tradition. What is most important to us is getting to know one another and nurturing each other’s gifts. We strive to be a church within which we can experience the presence of God together, and take that presence back out into the world.</p> 290<p>Seekers Church does not have a pastor. Rather, we recognize that everyone has gifts and authority, and we depend on each member of our community to help sustain the life of the church. Our structures include a Servant Leadership Team, a group of Stewards, and a number of <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/mission-groups">mission groups. </a>You can read more about these structures of <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/shared-leadership-in-seekers/">

This support includes publishing <em>Callings in Church of the Saviour,â </em>a quarterly newsletter, and âInward/Outward Together,â a weekly Gospel reflection distributed by email. <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/our-heritage/">Read more about Church of Saviour here.</a> <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/callings/">Here is an archive of â</a><em>Callings.â</em> To receive the weekly Gospel reflection, contact the editor at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.</p> 293<p><strong>A Confession of Faith</strong></p> 294<p>As part of our response to these troubled times, in December 2025 Seekers Church joined with the other faith communities of Church of the Saviour to adopt a confession of Faith, declaring the theological foundation of our identity as a Confessing Church. We call upon others to stand with us in this Confession of Faith and to embody these truths in public witness and private life. <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/wp-content/uploads/26-CoS-Confession-of-Faith.pdf">The Church of the Saviour Confession of Faith is found here.</a></p> 295 296 </div><!-- .entry-content --> 297 298 </article><!-- #post-## --> 299</div> 300 301 302 303 </main><!-- #main --> 304 </div><!-- #primary --> 305 306</div><!-- close .main-content-inner --> 307<div id="secondary" class="widget-area col-sm-12 col-md-4" role="complementary"> 308 <div class="well"> 309 <aside id="block-3" class="widget widget_block"> 310<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Come Join Us</h2> 311</aside><aside id="block-4" class="widget widget_block widget_media_image"><div class="wp-block-image"> 312<figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="384" height="307" src="https://www.seekerschurch.org/wp-content/uploads/seekers-church-building-by-Katie-cropped.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-14494" srcset="https://www.seekerschurch.org/wp-content/uploads/seekers-church-building-by-Katie-cropped.jpg 384w, https://www.seekerschurch.org/wp-content/uploads/seekers-church-building-by-Katie-cropped-200x160.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></figure> 313</div></aside><aside id="block-6" class="widget widget_block widget_text"> 314<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Sunday Worship, 9:30 am</strong><br>in person at <br>276 Carroll Street, NW <br>Washington, DC 20012<br>or at <a rel="noopener" href="https://zoom.us/j/89512148358" target="_blank">https://zoom.us/j/8951214 835</a> <br>Contact us at question (at) seekerschurch.org for the password or other questions </p> 315</aside><aside id="search-2" class="widget widget_search"><h3 class="widget-title">Search this Site</h3> 316<form role="search" method="get" class="form-search" action="https://www.seekerschurch.org/"> 317 <div class="input-group"> 318 <label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label> 319 <input type="text" class="form-control search-query" placeholder="Search…" value="" name="s" title="Search for:" /> 320 <span class="input-group-btn"> 321 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span></button> 322 </span> 323 </div> 324</form> 325</aside><aside id="custom_html-2" class="widget_text widget widget_custom_html"><h3 class="widget-title">Make a Donation to Seekers Church</h3><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"> 326<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" /> 327<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="KVT9PL3GDEBMA" /> 328<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" alt="Donate with PayPal button" /> 329<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" /> 330</form></div></aside>
