Sure, everyone is nice and friendly and welcoming just like any other church, after all, "put on Sundays best right?!" Problem is, what did Jesus say? Mat 23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. And another reminder of what Jesus instructed: Jhn 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. To say God does not create evil is not truth. On another note, the presence of the Holy Spirit was not there. A lack of love, it's more of a facade. Be careful people. Looks can be deceiving. Mat 23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

I literally have come in my gym clothes and I never feel out of place. This is a non-denominational Christian church located in Chantilly in a fairly new location. They have their own coffee shop, a kids area, and the service is held in a basketball court. They also provide free coffee and snacks before each service! There are three service times available every Sunday, which I absolutely love that they give you options. The singers are seriously amazing. You'll be blown away. A lot of people think that church is boring and honestly don't truly enjoy going...but if you come to New Life, they will change your mind on that. The pastors are knowledgeable and funny. They truly break down the meaning of Bible verses and incorporate it into real life situations. If you've always been uneasy about going to church..seriously give this place a try. They even have a live stream! So, you can watch the service from the comfort of your home.

I've attended Gatway for 2 1/2 years both in person and remotely. Ed Allen, the main pastor is a very gifted speaker and has a terrific way of making scripture apply to daily life. He's enthusiastic, sincere in his faith, and understands he not perfect, but wants to always give his best to guiding his parish down the path to a Christ centered life. His sermons are always well done and are a highlight of the services. Music is contemporary and well performed! i would say that perhaps they could use some added variety by including some of the more traditional hymns. Also, would be great to have a choir that more parishioners could be part of and even a Children's Choir to occasionally mix up the music a bit. But the Gateway worship band (made up of a rotating group of parish musicians and singers) lead by Jordan and Grace is usually very strong. They have lots of activities, small groups, and actively support a number of very worthy missions around the world. There is plenty of easy parking and it's a modern and very attractive building with a coffee bar at the services. And... lots of friendly people. I highly recommend Gate

There was a so called Pastor AJ that danced around psalm 8 and said he doesn't believe GOD created the world in six days, saying it was more time than that, and he doesn't believe in a young earth either, so that is not sound doctrine. He doesn't believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, therefore don't be deceived by ravenous money hungry wolves, you will not find your fill of true acceptable spiritual worship at this location, thank you.

Staff is friendly, but can get a little preachy. Sundays are busy, but the place is slammed on holidays.

I'd give this place a lower rating, but for some reason I feel compelled to give it five stars.

"Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received--only…read morewhat you have given. ... For it is in giving that we receive." ― St. Francis of Assisi The Saint Joseph Parish and School in Herndon, VA, is tended by the Order of St. Francis (of Assisi). It is the Franciscans who walk the halls of the school and preside over Mass at the St. Joseph Parish. The comfort and grace of St. Francis is apparent in all they do and say. The Rosary is prayed each morning from 7:30 to 8 AM by the community before the 8 AM Mass. Unlike other Catholic churches which are moving away from having statuaries and altars to St. Joseph, Mother Mary, and the saints, Saint Joseph Parish encourages reflection and prayer to the all whom our Church possible. The Franciscan priests give wonderful homilies, making the Gospel accessible to all. It may not be a modern church or an aesthetic church (by modern standards), but parishioners are encouraged to pause, reflect, pray and discuss. In the memory of St. Francis of Assisi who reminded us that it is in giving that we receive, Saint Joseph Parish gives so much to those who attend, and encourages parishioners to share and give in return.

However, beginning January 25, 2015, there is a new location for the church office and service: 15100 Enterprise Ct., Suite 100, Chantilly, VA 20151. The church is multiethnic, but a very rough breakdown would be about 50% Asian (usually American born) and 50% Caucasian. There's also quite a few interracial couples (e.g., 1 Asian and 1 Caucasian). The church's big strength is community. The church has about 200 adult attendees, so it's small enough that most people know each other. However, the church community is very spread out, which you can view as a good or bad thing. Good because it means people are willing to drive all the way from Lorton/Maryland/DC to attend the church. Bad because it's sometimes annoying to drive 45 minutes just to get to a church activity. The church is trying to address this by creating quarterly community groups that are organized by where you live. Another strength is the church's children's program. The leaders believe that children are capable of much more than we give them credit for, and so rather than sitting children in front of mindless videos or random coloring books, they believe in actually teaching kids about the Gospel. For example - memorizing Bible verses at a very young age. Although I've been attending this church for 7 years, I do have to be honest about its weaknesses. For me (and maybe not for you), it's the church's location. It's pretty far west for folks who live by Vienna metro. Also, sometimes the sermons can be a bit repetitive, though I think this is done because some people are sleepy and not fully processing information on Sunday morning. Also, I don't agree with Mikey's criticism about the ratio of single women and men. I know at least 10 couples that met through this church.
