Our History

Roots that Run Deep.

The Washington, D.C. Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction of the Church of God in Christ was born from a vision of spiritual revival and civic empowerment in our nation's capital. In 1958, Kelsey Temple Church of God in Christ became the first COGIC congregation in the city, marking the beginning of a legendary legacy.

Over the decades, the jurisdiction has expanded to include vibrant congregations across the metropolitan area.
