We strive to love our community by providing both material and spiritual support. God calls all of us as followers of Christ to love our neighbors, to make disciples by sharing the gospel message, and to engage in good works (Matthew 22:39; 28:18-20; Galatians 6:10; Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:14; 3:1, 8). We try to strategically do to these through our local outreach efforts and through our work with local partnerships.

We partner with LCAC, a local nonprofit community organization which seeks to provide low-income individuals, senior citizens, and families residing in Fort Belvoir, Lorton, Newington and other portions of southeast Fairfax County, with access to basic needs and training. LCAC distributes food to more than 2,200 people through their food pantry, supports more than 500 children through our after-school and tutoring program, provides winter coats to more than 900 people, provide gifts, food and toys to more than 2,800 people during the holiday season, and teaches more than 200 individuals with improved English skills through their ESL program.

We provide volunteer support and participate in the annual Fall for LCAC Festival, National Night Out, and Christmas Dinner program. Additionally, our Home Groups also provide volunteers in the food pantry and other service areas. What's more, twice a year in April and August we put on an Outreach Week at LCAC, in Lorton Park, serving over 60 children through the summer lunch program, a weeklong vacation Bible school program, and other activities.

Please note that a simple background check is required to participate in this ministry, as with all our ministries involving children.

We partner with Assist, a Christ-centered non-profit ministry working to encourage, educate, and empower women and men to make life-giving decisions for themselves and their unborn children. Through the provision of no-cost medical services to confirm and date pregnancy, pregnancy options counseling, and practical assistance, Assist comes alongside abortion-vulnerable individuals to affirm life and share the hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since 1990, God has worked through Assist to save over 1,000 babies.

Each year we participate in the Baby Bottle Drive to help them raise funds for this critical ministry. Additionally, Assist offers several volunteer opportunities, including training, for those interested in supporting this ministry.

God has placed us near Fort Belvoir and not too far from the Marine Corps Base Quantico, so we have the privilege of serving and doing life with brothers and sisters in Christ who serve in the military. In conjunction with our Military Ministry, we hold outreach events several times a year on Fort Belvoir to bring Christian fellowship and the gospel to our military families.

Prayer walks are from April to November, generally on the 4th Saturday of the month, from 1pm - 3pm. We'll meet at the church building and head out from there.
(Note: the November prayer walk is on the 3rd due to Thanksgiving.)
