What are your worship service times?

Currently, we have one Sunday morning worship time that is at 9 AM and lasts about an hour. Because we are a church that lives spread out from the building we also have a 30 minute fellowship time between worship and Bible class, which begins at 10:30am.

How large is the church?

The Fairfax Church of Christ usually has about around 370 people on a typical Sunday.

What should I wear?

Clothes! We have people in jeans and a t-shirt, business casual, and even a few suits. We are much less concerned with what you wear than with you simply coming and feeling comfortable and welcome!

Do you have small groups? How do I join a small group?

Yes, we have small groups, which we call Growth Groups! Most of our groups meet on Sunday evenings and typically include a meal, a short devotional, prayer, and an outreach or service project. Our groups are spread throughout the Fairfax and Washington D.C. area, making it easy to find one near you.

If you’re interested in joining, let us know, and we’ll provide all the information you need to find the perfect fit. You might even receive a personal invitation from one of our members! Feel free to visit different groups until you find one that aligns with your location, life stage, passions, and spiritual gifts.

What is there for my kids?

Our children’s and youth/student ministries are a real strength of the Fairfax Church of Christ. Our  Children’s Ministry is for babies through 6th grade and our youth group for which has a middle school group (7th-8th) and the high school group (9th-12th).  For our kids in 4th-6th grade, we have S.O.S. (Showing Our Savior) which provides a monthly devotional during worship and a fun activity following Bible class (like skating & laser tag). Our children and teens are involved in Bible studies, service projects, mission trips, leadership retreats, camps, and all kinds of fun activities. These ministries also provide resources for parents to help them in raising their children to follow God

How do I get involved or learn how to serve?

We have a Strengths Finder and Spiritual Gifts assessment that we encourage people to take which can help a person discover their natural Strengths and their Spiritual gifts. These discoveries can be applied to the different areas of people’s lives–their family, their unchurched/world settings, and the church. Contact Lisa Bosley, our Family Life/Equipping Minister, for a Strengths and Spiritual gifts assessment or to get involved in a specific ministry.

Does this church reach out to the community?

Absolutely! Our vision statement says that we will “reflect God’s heart in our communities.” We care deeply about our community and are actively involved in seeking its welfare, serving our community, and introducing people to Christ.

Several of our members go to downtown D.C. on Thursday nights to feed the homeless, pray for them, and share Christ through a ministry called the “Least of These.” We also offer ESL and FriendSpeak classes to help people improve their English and learn the gospel. Also, each year, we open our building for a week in the winter to provide shelter to our neighbors who are homeless. 

How can I learn more about God, Christ, the Christian faith, or becoming a Christian?

We have an entry level evangelistic Bible study that can be done one on one with one of our ministers or in a small group–a group specifically that designed to bring together those who are new in their seeking God and some Christians who join them in their journey.
