Our Worship & Beliefs
What to expect on a Sunday morning, how we practice communion, what we believe, and answers to common questions.
Our Worship
A heartfelt, Bible-centered gathering
Our Sunday worship is about an hour. You’ll hear a capella singing, Scripture reading, a sermon, and prayer. It’s heartfelt, Bible-centered, and designed to draw you closer to God.
We don’t use instruments in our worship — not because we think it’s wrong, but because we believe the human voice, lifted together, creates something uniquely beautiful and participatory. Everyone sings. Everyone belongs.
The Lord’s Supper
Communion every Sunday
We share communion every Sunday as a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice. Most weeks, trays with bread and a cup are passed through the rows. Once a month, we gather at tables for a more intimate observance.
Individual prepackaged communion cups are also available. All baptized believers are welcome to participate. If you’re not sure, that’s okay — we’d love to talk with you about it.
What We Believe
Rooted in Scripture, united in Christ
We are a Bible-based, nondenominational church. These core beliefs guide everything we do.
The Trinity
One God eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God, coequal, and coeternal.
Jesus Christ
Fully human and fully divine. Born of the virgin Mary, lived sinlessly, died as atonement for sins, rose bodily, and will return to rule forever.
The Holy Spirit
Indwells every believer, empowers Christian living, convicts the world of sin, and intercedes for us in prayer.
Scripture
The Bible is God’s inspired Word — the final authority for all matters of faith, truth, morality, and Christian living.
Salvation
Through grace via Christ’s blood. Received through faith, repentance from sin, confession of Christ as Lord, and baptism by immersion.
The Church
The local church consists of Christians organized into assemblies. Every Christian should actively participate, serve, and submit to the shepherding of elders.
What are your worship service times?
Sunday worship at 9:00 AM (in-person and livestream), followed by Bible classes for all ages at 10:30 AM. Wednesday classes at 6:00 PM.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable. You’ll see everything from jeans and sneakers to business casual. We’re just glad you’re here.
How big is the church?
About 400 people on a typical Sunday. Big enough to offer great programs, small enough that you won’t get lost.
What about communion?
We take communion every Sunday. Trays with bread and a cup are passed, and individual prepackaged cups are available. Monthly table communion too.
Do you have small groups?
Yes! Growth Groups meet Sunday evenings across NoVA and D.C. for meals, devotionals, prayer, and service.
What is there for my kids?
Children’s Ministry serves babies through 6th grade. Student Ministry covers 7th–12th. Digital check-in kiosks in the lobby.
How do I get involved or serve?
Talk to any minister or sign up online. We offer Strengths Finder and Spiritual Gifts assessments to help you find your fit.
Does the church serve the community?
Yes — Night to Shine, ESL tutoring, Least of These DC, Winter Shelter, and more. Everyone can participate in missions.
How can I learn more about becoming a Christian?
We offer one-on-one and small group Bible studies for anyone exploring faith. Contact any minister to get started.
Is my child safe?
Absolutely. All volunteers are background-checked. We use secure digital check-in, and only authorized adults can pick up your child.
