Vision, Values, Mission, & Ministries

The Falls Church Anglican

 

“…that Christ be King in our lives and in the lives of others.”

 

Who We Are:

We are a welcoming family, hungering for more of God, wholeheartedly following Jesus Christ.

 

Where We Are Placed:

In the City of Falls Church—our church, for which this city was named, was here for nearly 300 years.

In the Nation’s Capital—we have a significant responsibility and the potential for vital Christian influence.

In the Anglican Communion—we value its rich liturgy and history, rooted in Biblical truth.

In the Evangelical Tradition—we are committed to Biblical authority and preaching and to doing the work of evangelism.

 

What We Are Called to:

Worship God in Spirit and Truth—we gather in the presence of the Holy Spirit, pursuing intimacy with God, receiving grace, and offering praise through Jesus Christ.

Live Out God’s Word in Our Whole Lives—we seek to know and apply Biblical truth in our church life, our family life, through our work, and by serving God wherever we are.

Serve God’s People in Caring Community—we desire to grow into a community of Grace, where we serve on another in love in supportive and accountable relationships.

Reach God’s World with the Love of Christ—we want to share the good news of God, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring the lost to new life in Jesus Christ, and to show compassion to the poor and those in need.

Renew God’s Church in Word and Spirit—we seek to raise up leaders from every generation for the church; to plant churches; to offer ourselves, our experience and our facilities as resources to the wider church.
