Everything about this church is great. If you're looking for a great place for worship, but you…read moredon't have to dress up and worry about being judged (even though church is really the last place anyone should be judged...but I'll keep that thought to myself)..then you should definitely come check out New Life. 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.

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.

Gateway is a terrific Church, that is very "user friendly". It is inclusive in its approach and…read morewhen you attend you always feel welcomed but not "solicited" to become member. 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

I've been attending this church for about 7 years. Like Mikey said, the church service runs on…read moreSunday from 10:45AM-12:15PM. 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.

The 10:45am is perfect for those of us who cant wake up early on sunday mornings or who tend to stay out a little late on sat nights. The pastors are great, knowledgable, and friendly. they congregation is multi-ethnic, and tend to be in the young adult/young family range. probably the only complaint about this church is the lack of single girls my age haha. but who goes to church to meet girls?

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.
