This marks a significant moment ahead of the inauguration, where Trump and his family, along with political and business leaders, participated in the service. The church has previously been a site of controversy for Trump, who was criticized by religious leaders in 2020 for posing with a Bible outside the church following a confrontation with Black Lives Matter protesters.
