History

Founded in 1968 in the Anglican tradition of the world­wide Anglican Communion, Church of the Apostles is dedicated to upholding the authority and historical witness of Holy Scripture as the Word of God.  

The three great streams of Christian tradition are represented in our worship services: the catholic, which experiences God through liturgy and sacrament; the evangelical, which upholds and proclaims Scripture; and the pentecostal, emphasizing the power, presence and gifts of the Holy Spirit in the context of freedom and high expectation.

Church of the Apostles is a member of the Anglican Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) within the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). We have strong relationships throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion, particularly in the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON).

We invite you to learn more about Church of the Apostles by chatting with members, by browsing our website www.ChurchoftheApostles.org, or by giving us a call at our church office at 703-591-1974. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our church, the Bible, or the Christian faith. God is doing amazing things in and through the lives of the people here at Apostles. We’d love for you to be a part of it!
