The Miracle on 7th Street
Building a permanent sanctuary for worship, discipleship, and gospel impact on Capitol Hill.

A Christ-centered church
For eleven years GraceWay has preached the Gospel in Eastern Market. We are a church built to make Christ known on Capitol Hill.
A permanent ministry center
God has given us a church building to call our own. This building is now a full-time ministry center for outreach on Capitol Hill.
A 250-person sanctuary
A modern 250-seat sanctuary fit to share the glorious gospel. We are creating a sacred gathering place for those who live or work in DC to worship Christ.

GraceWay's Timeline
Eleven years of God's grace — from our first call to the miracle on 7th Street.
Called to Serve in DC
After sixteen years serving as missionaries in Papua New Guinea, Pastor Brad and Deborah Wells left the mission field, sensing God's call to plant a church in Washington, D.C.
Graceway is born
Brad and Deborah Wells answered the call to plant a church in Washington, D.C. GraceWay Baptist Church held its first service at Hill Center on Capitol Hill.
Weekly witness at scotus
GraceWay began a weekly National Prayer Meeting on the steps of the Supreme Court — a standing call to believers to plead for our nation before the God of Heaven. That gathering continues to this day.
Shepherd's Cove Outreach
The church began renting a house near Hill Center in the Eastern Market neighborhood, naming it "Shepherd's Cove." It became a gathering place for church events and a home for young men serving in the ministry.
The Undisclosed Location
During COVID, GraceWay kept meeting — gathering at an undisclosed location each week and setting up pop-up tents with all our sound and video equipment at the Capitol, Hill Center, and local parks for every single service.
The Miracle on 7th St
God provided a permanent home for GraceWay. Due diligence is complete, and a temporary setup is already functioning inside — the first step toward a fully renovated building for the next generation.
