I've always been a big fan of the music at frontline and this satellite doesn't disappoint where music is concerned. The message is consistent with the "what we believe" statement of MBC and the leadership here really has a heart to try reaching the Arlington/DC area. Like the rest of DC, it can be a bit hard to really connect with people. Since its on a monday night, a lot of people are tired from work or just want to head home and not talk to new people. Use the "connect" meeting to meet people here. If you're from a small church you might have to reach a bit further than you're used to, but they're good people with a good heart and the leadership is actively trying to make sure everybody feels welcome.

I always feel warmly welcomed when I come, and the Pastors always make time to speak with members after service. Having 3 different services is a plus too, and I haven't had any issues finding parking on the street. There's free coffee and snake before and after service, and an overflow area outside the sanctuary for watching services as well. Next Saturday is their Do Good Global Meal Pack, where we'll be packing 275,000 to send to children in the Dominican Republic along with Kids Around the World.

Great church!…read more Awesome people, great ways to get involved in a small group or other things. I've had trouble finding a place of worship where I felt at home. I feel very comfortable here. The church as a whole is great for everyone. If you're worried about a church conflicting with your specific political views or something like that, this isn't a church preaching politics, fire and brimstone. This church focuses on the positive,love and community. The gathering leaves room for lots of conversation and meeting qood quality people. I love that its not mega-church-y but is large enough to have such a large community of people of diverse ages and backgrounds. Stephen Taylor the Community Ministry Coordinator is very good at relating his messages about todays times and how to apply to apply them to our every day lives. He is even nice enough to remind us about upcoming events via email. I am becoming to a regular to the yoga class the church hosts on Monday evenings. Their yoga class has helped me physically,emotionally and spiritually. All and all I am extremely lucky this church has come into my life. I hope other people can experience from this divine gift as I have.

They are a great group of folks who, from what I could tell, are multi-generational in make-up and progressive in politics and theology. They have a beautiful sanctuary and a newly redone space so the building feels loved. It is clear that they are not just about the building as many of the folks talked about their connections and service to the community as well. If you are in Arlington and want a great family-style church, check them out! Disclaimer: I give every church a five just because not every church is perfect but it is a five to someone AND I will never review a church that I wouldn't try myself if I were looking. No need to bad mouth freaky churches because they are uh, well, freaky.

It is still a great, a five star church for young adults, that is no small praise as most churches in the diocese have a tough time figuring out how to attract young adults. However I still strongly prefer the other churches nearby for Mass, my preference is because of the priests. Try it for yourself and know there are 3 others close by.

My family belonged to a great church in Chicago. It took us about a year to find and decide to join…read morethat church. So we were dreading having to start that process all over again when we moved to Rockville. After a year and a half of sporadically checking out at least 7 different churches in Maryland, we heard about GCCC expanding to Tysons. Initially, we thought it would be too far since we're coming from around Shady Grove Hospital. But taking into account the lack of traffic on Sunday mornings, it only takes us about 20-25 minutes. Why was it so difficult for us to decide on a church? My husband is a non-believer who's curious to learn more about Christianity. We needed Pastors that we can relate to, connect with, be inspired by, and most importantly, be people who would make us WANT to go to church and listen to them every...single...Sunday. Pastor Steve, Pastor Sam, and Pastor Phillip are all quirky, funny, and relatable in their own ways. They have been so welcoming to all the newcomers to the Tysons location and you can really see the heart that they have for God, His people, and the mission of the church. We have 3 young kids (age 5 and under) so we needed a great children's program for each of their age groups. Believe me, there isn't a shortage of kids at this church. But despite the volume and what I would have expected to be complete chaos, the Children's Ministry has everything under control. Security is very important to them and they have a great system in place where every child is accounted for and no child would be released to someone who shouldn't be picking them up. My two older ones will have their days of not wanting to be separated from Mom and Dad, but they come out of their classrooms every Sunday with a big smile and so excited to share with us what they did in class that day. It's exciting to see that our kids would be growing up and becoming (hopefully) lifelong friends with the kids in their classes. My husband and I wanted to meet people who are in the same life stage as we are, families trying to survive the early years of child-rearing, and we have met so many great families with kids the same age as ours. But I realized that it's important to get to know the other folks with older kids too (they will be our mentors on how to handle and teach our kids as they grow older) as well as the younger/single folks (who plan fun activities outside of church where we can pretend we're young again.) I've never been apart of a church where there are so many official and unofficial events for people to bond outside of church. I can see that this is a place where your friends become your family, and we want to be a part of that. Now that we have become regular attenders, we are really enjoying getting to know everyone on a deeper level and opening our palates up to all the different restaurants in VA that we Marylanders never venture out to try! And I know we'll never have to dine alone because the people at this church love to eat!

Been at this church from the beginning... There are definite unique things about the church so I'd…read morepoint them out. 1. The church is mostly transplants from other areas. I think that helps to enfold new comers. There's really no "old timers", so everyone feels like they can fit right in even though they just moved to the area. 2. There's strong ownership of the church by the members and regular attenders. The standard 80/20 rule doesn't apply. More than 50 percent are involved in some sort of ministry... And many in multiple ministries. 3. The leadership truly demonstrate humble servanthood. You will see them in serving in children ministry, moving equipment, setting up each service week and week out ... 4. The church still feels 'small' and where newcomers can still find space and place. 5. There are strong desire and practice to serve the community... 6. Of course, there are plenty of fun folks!

They use to live in the ghettos of Boston where there were as many funerals there as there are wedding in DC. They opened their house to the neighborhood children who often didn't have enough to eat or needed a safe place. On a side note regarding the post on Chinese New years, all the Christians I know in China and Taiwan celebrate Chinese New Years because it's a time to connect with family and friends and to share and tell them how much you love them. It's not easy being Christian in China and some of them have given up professions, suffered persecution, and are barely scrapping by, but they celebrate Chinese New Years....maybe differently from others....like with prayer and church services along with visiting family, feeding and helping the poor and witnessing to them. Chinese Christians definitely celebrate and share Christ's love during the two week national celebration!

St. Agnes is well-located in Cherrydale and pretty much the only Catholic Church option in far North Arlington. It's a fairly well-attended congregation and the church itself is a contemporary (by that I mean 60's), semi-circular building. Not my taste in church architecture, but I guess I'm not there for the pretty building, right? If I had my choice, I'd go to Holy Trinity in Georgetown, but the proximity of St. Agnes and plentiful off-street parking make it the covnenient choice.
