This Fall, come study Paul's letter to the Philippians with fellow 20s and 30s, starting Thursday, September 11th!

This class is designed to help us better understand Islam and equip us to be effective witnesses for Christ to our Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers. The class will offer a practical introduction to the history and teaching of Islam and provide a foundation for evangelism and answering common questions. Rev. Robert Watkin will be the lead teacher for this course, with guest contributions from Matt Kasowski (Executive Director, For the Nations DC), and Muslim-background believers who will share their powerful stories of conversion to Christianity. 

(The Back 40 is located on the 3rd floor of the office building at 6565 Arlington Blvd. Head right as you step off the elevator and continue in that general direction until you reach the end of the hallway.)

Keeping the Faith (KTF) serves as a hybrid Sunday School class/small group that equips parents with kids of all ages, or any caring adult with young ones in their lives, to confidently and effectively disciple the teens and children they love.

Are you interested in connecting with Muslims you encounter at the grocery store, in your neighborhood, or at public schools? Would you like to learn how to engage them in meaningful conversations about Christianity? Do you want to know which questions to ask and how to pray for them effectively? 

Join us for a workshop led by Andy Bannister, who has spent decades interacting with Muslims and holds a doctorate in Islamic studies. This session will equip you with practical strategies, cultural insights, and ways to leverage your God-given gifts to build meaningful relationships and share the love of Christ with these men, women, and children created in God’s image. 

Come and discover how you can love your Muslim neighbors in the name of Jesus! 

Join us in this five-week Lenten course led by the Rev. Dr. John Frederick, as we focus on five disciplines for spiritual growth: self-examination, bible reading, prayer, fasting, and charity. We’ll follow the instruction of Anglican luminary J.C. Ryle in his classic book Practical Religion (first published in 1878). The book is available here. No prior reading or study will be required, however. All are welcome to simply come enjoy the talks and engage in Q&A.

Please join us on Sunday, March 30 after the 11am service to learn more about how we protect children and youth at TFCA. 

This forty-minute presentation will review TFCAs Five Steps.  These steps implement the DOMA policies for protecting children here at TFCA.   Attending this presentation fulfills one part of the volunteer review process for those desiring to serve in Children or Youth ministries.

Lunch will be served – please RSVP here

The purpose of the series is to help inform TFCA’s path as we explore a partnership with Anglican dioceses in the Global South.  A critical success factor in our partnership journey is a better understanding of the Anglican Church in the Global South and a humble posture as to how the Lord can teach us through a partnership. 

This course is for adults who desire to make a deeper commitment to this body of Christ through Voting Membership, to join the wider Anglican Communion through Confirmation, or to simply learn more about The Falls Church Anglican: who we are, what we believe, and what it means to be Anglican. 

If you’ve been attending the church for some time now and are ready to explore deeper involvement, we hope you’ll join us in the Ministry Center on Wednesday nights, 7-8:30 p.m., for this 4-week course beginning March 8.  Questions? Please contact Steve Cannizzaro.

 Please REGISTER by Mar 6 to let us know you plan to attend.

So often our most pressing questions about faith and the Bible go unanswered and even unasked. But what if the quest for deeper faith starts with asking tough questions that ultimately lead to the honest, unchanging truths of the Gospel? What if we crowd-sourced our questions about Christianity and offered a set of evening talks to explore how the Bible engages with those questions?

Join us this fall on Wednesday nights from Sep 11 - Oct 9, at 7 p.m. for a series of public forums led by Rev. Dr. John Frederick as we consider our most pressing crowd-sourced questions about the Christian faith! Do you have a pressing question about the Christian faith or the Bible? Submit HERE for consideration. Register HERE for the course.
