Today we celebrate 30 years of the Southeast White House being a house on a hill for all people!!! It began as a prayer-filled vision from a group of friends in the 1990s to have a place, or as they called it, a “People’s House” where Jesus and His teachings could be shared. Despite obstacles, the opportunity to acquire the property unexpectedly opened up, people began gathering to pray for the Lord’s leading, then volunteers came to care for renovating the property from its state of disrepair. As volunteers served children from the community started playing on the property. As these volunteers left to go back to their homes in PA or IL the children stayed and in response the mentoring program was started, followed by an After School program, and much much more!
The Southeast White House’s legacy of hospitality, fellowship, and discipleship continues today through the DC Dream Center and our partnership with National Community Church. We praise God for His faithfulness and for the ways He has used this space as a place to bless generations over these thirty years. We’re grateful for every person who has been a part of our community, and we’re excited for all that’s to come!!
Thank you so much to D.J. and the team for clearing the ice!

As we honor and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, we are inspired by his call to unity, love, and the Beloved Community. Through programs including our prayer breakfast, Reconciliation luncheon, Second Saturday Serve, and more, we are committed to being a place where all are welcome, where hope becomes habit, and where every person can live life to the full. We invite you to join us to be a part of all God is doing at the DC Dream Center!
