ABOUT US
Washington Community church is a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.
Washington Community Church strives to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Washington Community Church makes an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
Washington Community Church highly values our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

OUR VISION
We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. At WCC we make an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
What that means is that we are passionate about four things:
1. we are passionate about the lost. We will do all we can to help them grow and find their destiny. We do big and small events to help attract them to Jesus’s good news. Today, is a great example. The third Sunday of every month, we have a community day where we have special food and fun right after church. The third Sunday is always a great day to invite people.
2. We are passionate about teaching and preaching the word of God in a way that connects with people and transforms their lives.
3. We are passionate about seeing people healed and made whole.
4. We are passionate for making a difference in our world outside of the US-global missions.

2. Help you get free from the issues of your past.
3. Enable you to discover your purpose and giftings in life.

Tenets of Faith
We believe that…
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God, without error in the original languages.
The one true God manifests Himself in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His complete, conquest over the powers of Satan, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His imminent return in like manner as He went away.
The Church consists of all who truly believe in Jesus Christ and in His atoning death and trust in Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of lost men, and this salvation, is wholly of grace through faith.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live Godly lives.
We believe that healing was provided for the spirit, soul and body in the atonement of Jesus Christ.
We believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit in First Corinthians chapter twelve are available and operational in the body of Christ today.
We believe in the ordinance of Baptism in water (by immersion) in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. We do all this in the name of Jesus Christ. We also believe in the ordinance of Holy Communion.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost – they that are saved unto eternal life – they that are lost unto eternal damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all who believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
These articles of faith are presented on a basis of unity and not for the purposes of judgment or division.
OUR HISTORY
SMALL BEGINNINGS
Pastor's Steve and Zury Bradcovich came to the Washington area after planting churches all over the world since 1983!
They started Washington Community Church in July of 2001 with a dream to start a church where they connect people with God and help people reach their destiny in life.
They started with four families and have continued to grow each year.
Their focus is to reach people not already in church with the simple gospel of Jesus Christ
We invite you to see for yourself how exciting church can be when the focus is simple and people are free to go after God with passion!
