@ronniefloyd @kingschurchdc Nice to meet you! Would love to connect.

@benpalka @kingschurchdc Very Impressive Pastor Ben.

First Sunday morning at our new location just 4 blocks from the White House, steps from McPherson Square & National Mall, right in the heart of downtown Washington. Packed house, praise rising to Jesus Christ. Glory to God! @kingschurchdc

Our second LEARN night in downtown Washington. Inclement weather, bigger crowd than last time. @JosephLoconte leading on Reformation + Luther as people read The Freedom of a Christian, 95 Theses, and Bondage of the Will. Just wild!

Are DC churches centers of political power? | WORLD wng.org/articles/churc…

So excited! We kicked off our LEARN Seminar in downtown DC tonight and over 115 people showed up to hear @JosephLoconte on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien: War, Friendship, and Imagination.

Also appreciate this article today by @DailySignal; grateful for coverage that genuinely reflects what the Lord is doing here and the life of God in the church. dailysignal.com/2026/01/18/dc-…

Thankful for coverage here from @BaptistPress that focuses on the gospel work happening at the church here in Washington.

A church can include conservatives without being organized for Republican ends. DC/NYC media culture largely no longer knows how to recognize ordinary Christianity, so “church” gets translated into the only framework they have left: politics, power, and strategy.

I spoke at the Pentagon yesterday on John 3:1–15. Thankful for the opportunity to share the gospel with those who lead our nation in a very unexpected place!

Honored to have you!

@TAndrewBrown Thanks bro!

Go get 'em @benpalka

@BaptistPress Thanks for the write up! Churchinthecitycampaign.com

@stevelallen Appreciate you Steve and thank you!

@benpalka Amazing! So proud of and grateful for you Ben! 🙌🏼

Five years today as a church plant in downtown Washington, DC. We had zero traction our first two years (2018-2020). But since the pandemic, by amazing grace, we’ve grown to 500, and today did our 100th baptism and launched a capital campaign to secure our own permanent space.

@JOE_Ferrante Appreciate it brother, always fond memories of you!

@benpalka “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9 What a cool update @benpalka

We have a pretty big story to tell for another time. Needless to say, at the beginning of all of this very little support, almost no resources, zero plant team, no national name recognition. But, “having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart” (2 Cor 4:1).
