My first exposure to Northern Virginia was on a family vacation. While living in Pennsylvania, we had been to visit friends in North Carolina. They had given us directions that took us back-country to I-95, well south of the Beltway. On the way back, we missed the turn and soon found ourselves on some very wide roadways. We were impressed with the number of lanes and wondered about the people who lived here. A few years later, God called us to Fellowship and we began to meet them—a diverse people from across the globe—people that Fellowship desires to reach savingly with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The longtime pastor of the church in New Orleans in which my wife, Neita, and I grew up, once said of that city that it was a place that got in his hair, then on his clothes, then in his heart. We feel the same about Northern Virginia and have invested more than two decades of ministry at Fellowship.

Whether you are living in Northern Virginia for two or three-year stay, have been here for twenty or were born here, we invite you to be part of what God is doing at Fellowship. You will find a welcome here—a place to be fed and loved, and to serve and grow—a place you’ll call home.
