Credo: The Rev. David Perdue

Light pours into newly remodeled Church at Clarendon, a beautiful building a stone’s throw from the Clarendon Metro stop. The Baptist church, led by interim senior pastor David Perdue, has about 170 regular attendees. Perdue spoke to The Washington Examiner about the church’s outreach and vision for loving others.
