Vine Church-Dunn Loring is just a short walk from the Dunn-Loring Metro and Vine Church-Graham Road is located in Falls Church VA. The dress is casual and the pastors are welcoming down to earth people. Both churches are new church plants looking to cater to those who have never been to church, don't know anything about God, curious, but at the same time welcomes those who have a relationship with God. The service is a mix of casual and traditional elements. You can drink coffee and eat snacks from the free coffee bar while worshiping to contemporary music. Communion is served every Sunday. The members are friendly and the Children's Church leadership is awesome. The church also has a teenage ministry that meets every Sunday. There are small groups that you can attend and each group is different. There are also church get togethers and community outreaches happening throughout the year for all age groups. There is something for everyone at Vine Church!

Before being a member of GCCC, I was church hopping for 2 years. I feel like there aren't enough…read moreinfos or perspectives about churches nowdays, hence, here's my quick thoughts about this church. GCCC's denomination is under Christian & Missionary Alliance that typically specialize about missionary efforts. About 200sh people show up every week - mostly young Koreans and Chinese working professionals (20s to 30s) + some families (15-30 kids) + college students. Coming from a legalistic church, I've been blessed with the pastors here & their grace based sermons. Pros: (1) The community aspect's great. The members are quite active & are always down to hang out. A lot of the members tend to move here from other cities. Due to this, they don't have much safety blanket to fall on, hence, they tend to give more efforts to get to know people / make friends in their new environment. (2) Small groups are a great way to find accountability as well as getting plugged into the church. (3) Currently, GCCC has both local mission partners & international mission trips opportunities (Spain, Cambodia) with ample serving opportunities at the church as well. (4) Metro accessible; This church's located inside Hilton Doubletree hotel & service starts at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays. Cons: (1) With this church being close to DC & filled with the younger professionals, some of the people do tend to come and go (temporary positions, internships, etc). At the same time, we do have many people that've stayed here for a long time. (2) Some of the more popular small group locations can be more packed than others. Tips: If you're a newcomer, just tell that to the ushers (we wear tags) in the welcoming table. I know it can be awkward / intimidating being the new guy in a church - you're not sure who to talk to, especially since many people break in convo groups. You can always just approach the ushers after service; We can answer any questions you might have, help you get plugged in, introduce you to our pastors or just chat & get to know you.

They offered a variety of Mass times, which was nice and I chose the Sunday 7am Mass so I wouldn't be late for the last session of my conference. The Church is fairly large and that morning there was a visiting celebrant priest from a neighboring Catholic high school. He was a joyful priest and I enjoyed his homily. I'm not used to all of their Extraordinary Ministers who were distributing Holy Communion and I prefer to receive from the ordained priest. I like to veil at Mass and I was the only lady wearing one--which is fine as my reverence is for the Lord, Who is present here.

Reviewing churches is definitely a dicey area, because so many people could be offended or forced to relive childhood spiritual trauma. I'm trying to stay away from divisiveness. I want to help local church hoppers. Fairfax Community Church reminds me of a "mocha choco ya ya latte" (as my funny friend S would say). From the parking lot traffic control, to the dome-shaped coffee lounge, to the public text-message screen in the lobby, and even the mostly white families in attendance, I got the feeling we were at Fair Oaks Mall. But instead of a store, I found a snazzy Christian soft rock performance and a suburban dad preacher guy. I was really impressed with the computerized daycare/Sunday school pickup. The website boasts a pizza night - which is honestly something that drew me: free food (regardless if one tithes). The church is affiliated with the Church of God (of Anderson, Indiana), and hosts activities that feature Willow Creek megalo-church's Association. Not to say that God is Left or Right of some theological/political/social divide, but that the people who organize religious activities have certain inevitable biases. I can't figure out where to put this church, but it's probably moderate to conservative, at least compared to me. It was definitely an interesting and entertaining experience. No adult education on Sunday, at least that I could tell. From the website, it seems there are multiple small groups. This is a good place to be an anonymous churchgoer, because it's pretty crowded and there are two contemporary services in a row.

We were privileged to be in a small group in Daniel's home where he led studies in Romans and 1 Corinthians. Also, Daniel oversaw the Deepening Your Faith/Apologetics ministry that gave us a solid foundation for our Christian worldview. Daniel takes to heart 2 Timothy 2:15 and carefully and correctly explains God's Word. God has used him to teach us how to study the Bible - exegesis/seeking the original intended meaning of text. As believers, we should steer clear of those teachers who make the Bible say whatever they want (eisegesis). With Pastor Daniel, you will get God's Word carefully taught for His glory. (The hubby says, "Daniel teaches deep biblical truth in a way that it is easy to understand - truly an anointed teacher.") During a Bible study, I remember Pastor Daniel saying, "Much of the New Testament is about loving the brethren." Loving the brethren can't be done in isolation. You will be loved well and will be able to love others at Providence Baptist Church.
