The National Presbyterian Church

What The National Presbyterian Church does

The National Presbyterian Church (NPC) is a Presbyterian congregation located at 4101 Nebraska Avenue NW in Washington, DC. It operates as a single-site religious organization offering two Sunday worship services — an 8:45am contemporary service and an 11:00am traditional service — alongside Sunday School programming, a music ministry, youth camps, and small-group community programs. NPC conducts both local outreach and international mission partnerships across multiple continents, indicating a dual domestic/foreign ministry posture.

NPC runs its operations on CCB Church software, which provides administrative management, online giving, livestream worship broadcasting, and a podcast channel. This digital layer extends the church's reach beyond its physical campus and modernizes its donation infrastructure. The organization employs approximately 43 staff and clergy, including an Associate Pastor of Care (Rev. Lisa Larsen), and is currently conducting the Building Together capital project, an ongoing fundraising initiative supporting facility investment.

As a non-profit religious institution, NPC's revenue model is donation-based — tithes, offerings, online contributions via CCB, and capital campaign pledges — with no disclosed pricing, subscription, or commercial revenue streams. The customer base is its distributed congregation and donor pool, with no concentration in any single member or institutional funder. The strategic posture is maintenance-and-modest-reinvestment: stable program operations, a single capital project, and incremental digital channel deployment rather than aggressive expansion.
