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.

If you are looking for a church whose message confuses God-worship for a certain political viewpoint, or the attractive but false message that man is the measure of all things and man can solve his own problems without divine involvement, you should look somewhere else. And, if you are looking for a church that minimizes humanity's ability, whether through honest science or through social benevolence, to improve his own lot, this isn't the place for you. This church strives to address not only the spiritual, but also the material needs that exists in its surrounding community and throughout the world. Faith is not expressed through blind commitment but by by verifiable actions. Churches are imperfect representations of God's kingdom on Earth because they are all made up of people whose sin and whose moral failings qualify them for exclusion from that kingdom. And also qualifies them for God's grace. I know this church well; I know its warts. And this is a 5-star review. Five stars, because this is what I'm most confident in saying above all: If you want to hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers to every person alive through accepting what he did on the cross as his free gift to you as the way to eternal happiness, you will not be disappointed. I am a Christian who unashamedly believes that the Old and New Testaments are God's word. So I can offer no higher praise than this.

There are people at the church office that can help you find help in the community if they don't provide what you're looking for. The churches involved in the community and support many other organizations in the Alexandria in Mount Vernon area, they do an annual event to serve Mount Vernon/Alexandria area called Serve Day where they take an entire day and dedicated to doing projects at shelters and public areas to improve their own community, because as they say there a "community church".

The church actually meet at Mount Vernon high school on Sunday mornings. The Sunday service starts at 10 AM on Sunday mornings in the auditorium at Mount Vernon high school, but coffee and doughnut fellowship time starts at 9:30. There's plenty of parking at the high school and even a golf cart to meet you at your car and take you up to the door.

The preaching and teaching is based on the Bible which everyone has encouraged to read on their own and discuss.

I didn't think much of it as a kid, but now I'm completely appalled at the lack of response from the church's leaders. This church has no business existing, and frankly those people should be ashamed of themselves; I'd hardly call of them real Christians.

I would not say it's a 5 star church like Daniel K. did nor would I say a 1 star like Iohn did. @ Iohn, the misconception is that church is a place when in financial distress. While, there is some merit to that, if you ask around and do some research, you'll see that most church's don't offer the financial aid that you or most people would normally be seeking/expecting. Maybe a few hundred dollars a best. I sympathize with your situation as you have been a long attending member. One could even say this was God's way of waking you and your family up to go else where or to do things differently in your own life. For Ex: Do you all need smart phones? Sometimes we all are expecting other's to give us a helping hand when we ourselves can do much more. Is it easy? Is it enjoyable? Is it FAIR? No. However, that is the circumstances. If you're attending or attended Shining Star, then you are most likely of Korean/Asian decent. Think about the struggles your family went through to get to the U.S. Fleeing wore torn Korea to come to a new place with NOTHING and making it to where they are now. If they were able to survive then until now, I'm more than positive you all can overcome this phase of life. It will be tough and it will have a lot of sacrifices, but you will survive and THRIVE!

Just moved here in Virginia not long ago from mid west and I was shopping churches. I have visited a few huge and small churches in around northern Virginia.

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!

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!
