Iglesia ni Cristo chapel, Washington D.C., Religious building in Washington, D.C., United States.
Iglesia ni Cristo chapel is a church building complex on 16th Street in Washington, D.C. The site contains a one-story church structure with a basement level and an adjacent three-story school building serving the congregation.
The complex was acquired by Iglesia ni Cristo in 2012 and has since become the home of this church community in the capital. The purchase marked the establishment of this faith group at this Washington location.
This chapel serves as a central gathering place for Filipino American members of Iglesia ni Cristo in the city. It hosts regular worship services and religious programs for the community.
The complex sits along 16th Street and combines a one-story former church with a basement and a three-story former school, so look for two connected buildings rather than a single chapel. The grounds cover about 1.82 hectares, with the church building occupying 14,800 square feet and the school 16,370 square feet.
The former Greek Orthodox school on the site is a three-story building of 16,370 square feet, while the one-story former church covers 14,800 square feet with a basement. Both sit within a parcel of about 1.82 hectares, bought for $9.2 million in November 2012.
