The Forcey Memorial Church, first known as the Non-Sectarian Tabernacle and later the National Tabernacle, had its beginning in 1933 through the faith of its founder, Dr. Clark J. Forcey.



From 1933 to 1970 the facilities were located in Northwest Washington, D.C. Whether in the original tent of the early 30's, or in the large frame building of the 40's and 50's, or in the modern brick structure of the 60's, God used His people to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to instruct Christians in a useful walk with Him.



In 1970, it became evident to the congregation that its work in that particular location was accomplished. After much prayerful consideration, an offer by another congregation to buy the property was accepted.



The congregation was able to find temporary quarters in the John F. Kennedy High School during the construction of the present church facility from 1971 to 1974, during which time they continued to experience God's sustaining blessing. The present facilities are dedicated to the continued proclamation of the saving grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to the instruction of believers to the end that they may truly be His Ambassadors.
