The Washington City Paper recently recognized Capitol Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church as runner up for the “Best House of Worship” in it’s annual “Best of DC” edition for 2020. The recognition was based on votes from the paper’s readers as well as constituents from the community. The criteria for selection was based on each house of worship’s impact within the District of Columbia, their commitment to service, as well as the overall excellence of ministry endeavors. Dr. Emil D. Peeler, senior pastor of the church states, “We are both surprised and humbled by the recognition. We are truly blessed to have so many of our members who are quietly committed to being good neighbors in order to reflect the image of God even during this pandemic… we just did not realize that people were watching.”
