Assessment

Grace Capital City is at 535 8th St SE Washington DC, led by Lead Pastor Chris Moerman. Originally from Adelaide Australia, Moerman moved to the US in 2008 and pastored 7 years at Grace Midtown Atlanta before planting Grace Capital City. Part of the Grace Family of Churches network — distinct from the PCA Grace DC Network (Hoburg) and the Every Nation Grace Covenant Church (Fuller). Yellow pending verification of statement of faith, women-in-ministry stance, and elder/deacon structure. The "three Grace networks in DC" pattern (PCA, Every Nation, Grace Family) is a useful disambiguation reference.
