OUR PROGRAMS
Youth Group
6th-12th graders are invited to join us every Sunday night at 6565 Arlington Drive from 5:00-7:00 pm. It is an office building, but we have an awesome space we use for our youth. We start with a meal together, play a game , worship together in song, hear a teaching, and then break off into small groups based on grade. These are designed to be inviting to newcomers and friends. Check out some pictures here!
Bible Breakfast
Want to go deeper? Great, we have an opportunity for that. We have discipleship groups called Bible Breakfast where we gather before school to study scripture, check in with each other, and get to ask the tougher questions. We will even give you a ride to school afterwards if you need it. Email Tnguyen@tfcanglican.org to find out where and when the groups meet.
Breakaway
Middle and high school students are invited to the 2024 Breakaway Retreats! Join us at Rockbridge for unforgettable weekends packed with incredible experiences. High School Breakaway will be February 16 – 19 and Middle School Breakaway will be March 1 – 3.

SUMMER TRIPS
Middle School Fusion
Mark your calendars because Fusion this year is from July 22nd-26th! Fusion is our weeklong summer camp for rising 6th-8th graders that aligns with our church’s goals of community, discipleship, and outreach. Over the course of the week, students are discipled by staff as they listen to gospel-centered talks as well by their high school small group leaders. Fusion is also a great opportunity of fun & engaging community as students have a chance to bond with their peers over really fun activities like going to an amusement park or the zoo or playing sports! Lastly, each year we incorporate one day dedicated to serving those in and outside our church community. Fusion is always a favorite memory for students that go through the youth ministry, so be sure to sign up!
High School Mission Trip
Every summer TFCA organizes an opportunity to go out into the world to love and serve other people. We are all about relational ministry getting to know people of different cultures or from different areas. These trips are a great opportunity to get students outside of their comfort zones, away from their phones, and instead to dive into living out their faith by loving and serving others.
Note: The Falls Church Anglican affirms and complies with the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic’s policies for the protection of children.
Confirmation
High school is a great opportunity for student’s to make their faith their own. Our confirmation class walks through the core values of Christianity and challenges students to dig into what they believe and why. Confirmation is typically for those who were baptized as infants and now want to make a profession of faith for themselves. After Confirmation, students become full members of the church with all rites in voting and running for vestry.
Other Events
We are always thinking of something fun and exciting to do. If you would like to be in the know, jump on our newsletter list here.
