National City Christian Church

National City Christian Church, located on Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C., is the national cathedral for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The denomination grew out of the Stone-Campbell Movement founded by Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (then Virginia) and Barton W. Stone of Kentucky. The neoclassical church building was designed by John Russell Pope and completed in 1930. It is a contributing property to the Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District. Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, attended National City Christian Church during his time as president and his state funeral was held here in 1973.
