It sits east of the Anacostia River in the Kenilworth-Parkside neighborhood, right on the border with Maryland.
Like many churches, Peace didn’t want to just be located in a random neighborhood; it wanted to be in a place where it could reach out to the community around it, therefore, geography has always been important. From the start, the church has been intentional about locating itself on the east side of the city, which has significantly higher rates of poverty and crime.
