Capital Christian Fellowship (formerly Cottage City Mennonite Church) (Mennonite Church USA) was founded by young Mennonite carpenters, mostly from Denbigh, Virginia, working in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 1922. They started a church under the Virginia Conference; but since October 1927, the church has been under the Lancaster Conference. Ray J. Shenk was the minister and mission superintendent (1954). The membership in 1954 was 38.
After operating as a traditional Mennonite Church for over 70 years, Cottage City Mennonite Church moved 10 miles north of Washington, D.C. and began renting the Capital College auditorium in 1994. From 1994 -2004 Capital Christian Fellowship (the name it took after the move) grew from 30 members to 160 in 2004. Cottage City Fellowship moved into its new facility on a main thoroughfare six miles outside of Washington, D.C. in 2004. Its average attendance in 2006 was 325. In 2007 the membership was 250; the lead pastor was Noah J. Kaye.
