2025 launch
Christ Church DC began services in July 2025 as a Washington plant associated with Christ Church (Moscow, Idaho) and Doug Wilson. Jared Longshore preached at the inaugural July 13 service. pete-hegseth attended, as documented by eyewitness reporting from Religion News Service.
Venue and institutional context
The initial service took place in a Pennsylvania Avenue SE building owned by the conservative-partnership-institute, within the associated patriots-row property project. Religion News Service also reported attendance by Nick Solheim, an officer of American Moment; a person's presence at a service is not evidence of organization sponsorship. The ownership report does not establish the building's lease terms or church direction over CPI's political affairs.
