Founding Congregations: Civil War Legacy:
As Washington's population grew, so did the many church congregations. In some instances, new houses of worship were built to accommodate the larger gatherings. In other situations, new groups coming into town longed to create their own religious spaces. The congregations featured here are integral to their communities. They have flourished for 150 years and witnessed the changes and progress that the city has experienced since the Civil War. |
