Capital Life Church

What We Believe

Loving God authentically, growing together intentionally, serving others sacrificially.

Our primary focus is to introduce people to a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ,

and to bring them into maturity through a working knowledge of the Bible.

How it all started...

Dr. Bill Shuler and his family moved to the Washington, D.C. area on September 1, 2001 with a call from God to pioneer a ministry. Ten days later the Nation’s Capital and the world were shaken by terrorist strikes on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. In response to these tragic events, on September 12, 2001 a national headquarters for prayer was leased one block from the U.S. Capitol building. These early events helped to fashion the DNA of a people passionate to pray, and eager to minister those who come to the nation's capital.

On August 1, 2002 a new, life-giving, interdenominational church was launched. Looking back, it is evident that God's hand was at work laying a foundation, divinely and strategically calling and placing individuals, and carving out a space in Arlington for this growing community of Christ followers. Capital Life Church is filled with people who are experiencing victorious life in Jesus Christ and who have a vision to see the DC Metro area filled with the presence and power of God.
