About Us
The Falls Church Anglican is an historic Northern Virginia parish dating back 279 years to the founding of the United States. We are an active, vibrant evangelical Anglican congregation on the doorstep of the nation's capital passionate about seeing the Gospel lived by our church family.
Where We Are Placed
In the City of Falls Church – our church, for which this city was named, was founded nearly 300 years ago. We are currently worshipping in several different locations on Sunday morning. More information can be found under the WORSHIP header on the home page, or link HERE
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 to 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 one 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.

The Falls Church Anglican disaffiliated with The Episcopal Church in the United States in December, 2006, over doctrinal differences.
We trace our history to the New Testament church, but our local life commenced in colonial Virginia in 1732, when our church was built on the road to the falls of the Potomac river. By tradition a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, we worship God together as a church family using forms of worship that are both traditional and contemporary, always in conformity to Anglican standards embodied in the historic Book of Common Prayer. We are, first of all, followers of Jesus Christ. We affirm our unity with all Christians who call Jesus Lord and seek to follow His way.
