One of our goals in building Ebenezers, our coffeehouse on Capitol Hill, was to create a place where the church and community could cross paths. Doing church in the marketplace was already part of our DNA. Our long-term vision is to meet in movie theaters @ metro stops throughout the DC area. Building a coffeehouse took it to another level. We aren’t just doing church in the marketplace, we’ve created a marketplace. And if our flagship is successful I’d love to see Ebenezers turn into a chain of coffeehouses.

The coffeehouse is up and running, but we want to take things to the next level by making Ebenezers a destination spot. Or date spot We’ve beginning to book bands and turn our performance space into a concert venue. I also like the sound of Ebenezer Theater. I’d love for Ebenezers to be a place that celebrates and cultivates local artists and actors.

Ebenezers will host The Violet Burning in concert on July 14 @ 8pm. Steph Modder, AKA Estephania, will be the opening act. Doors open @ 7:30 pm and there will be a $10 suggested donation.
