Our History

Washington International Church (WIC) was started in 1991 by Pastor David Wong and his wife Nancy as a church plant of the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA) to reach internationals in the Washington, D.C. area. Since then, people from over 120 different countries have found a supportive community at WIC. 

Our congregation is known for being warm, welcoming, accepting, and diverse, encompassing a broad range of ethnic backgrounds and age groups. Much of our congregation is from another country or has a connection to the international community. We'd love to get to know you too!


As a church of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, Washington International Church holds to the Alliance Statement of Faith.
