Who We Are

About Us

A church led by Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, dedicated to transforming lives and advancing the kingdom of God.

Our Mission

To boldly show Jesus, to love God, and to love others because Christ first loved us

At Fairfax Church of Christ, we firmly believe that seeking God is foundational to a vibrant and fulfilling spiritual journey. Join us as we dive deep into the Word, engage in heartfelt worship, and seek the presence of God through prayer and meditation.

We are a Bible-based, nondenominational church of about 400 on a typical Sunday, located in Fairfax, Virginia — about 25 miles west of Washington D.C.

What We Believe

Rooted in Scripture

God

One God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Creator of all things, sovereign over all.

Jesus Christ

Fully human and fully divine. Virgin birth, sinless life, crucified as atonement, bodily resurrected, ascended, and will return.

The Holy Spirit

Convicts of sin, indwells believers, helps in weakness, intercedes, and empowers Christian living.

Salvation

Through grace via Christ’s blood. Requires faith, repentance, confession of Christ as Lord, and baptism by immersion.

The Bible

God’s inspired Word and our final authority. The original writings are without error.

The Church

Christ-founded community organized into local assemblies. Elders serve as overseers and shepherds.
