The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) will soon officially open its new, permanent headquarters on Capitol Hill.
The Christian broadcast association says the building will be dedicated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony held this Friday, Sept. 12, at 10 a.m. The new HQ is located at 800 Maryland Avenue NE in Washington, D.C.
“This is more than a new office — it is a permanent presence for Christian communicators in Washington,” said Troy A. Miller, NRB president and CEO, in a press release. “NRB’s voice in our nation’s capital has never been more crucial. Our new headquarters ensures that Christian media will continue to have a seat at the table for generations to come.”
The 5,850-square-foot, four-story property was listed for $3.25 million.
In the release, the NRB said this move “secures NRB’s proximity and access to policymakers, allies and media, strengthening its mission to advocate for free speech, defend religious liberty and amplify the Gospel through media.” The organization said one of its goals is to protect Christian communicators from censorship, discrimination and regulatory overreach.

The NRB was established in 1944. Its previous headquarters — of which the association resided since 2019 — was located one block west of Union Station and a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Before that, its HQ was stationed in Manassas, Va.
According to its website, the NRB says its mission is “to spread the life-changing truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through every electronic medium available.”
