Real community.

Real faith. Real welcome.

The best part of NoVA isn't our building or our programs, it's the people. Our groups and events are designed around one simple idea: helping you find the community you didn't know you needed. Whether you connect over shared interests, exploring faith together, or just a love for good conversation, you'll discover that belonging here happens naturally.

We're building the kind of church we all wish existed, where your doubts are as welcome as your faith, where you can ask hard questions without judgment, and where community actually means something.

Come curious. Leave connected.
That's how community works at NoVA.

Let's Connect

Life Groups

Find your people and grow together. Whether you're looking for deep conversations, meaningful service, or just feeling ready to make some new friends, there's a group waiting for you.

Family Ministries

For every age and every stage. From toddlers to college students, we believe growing up is better when families and friends grow together.

Neighborliness

Whether it's supporting global partners, hosting local retreats, or sponsoring community events, we believe love in action changes everything - starting right here in Northern Virginia.

Events

Something for everyone, always. Whether you're joining us for Sunday morning, a local service project, or a movie in the park, you're exactly where you need to be.

  • Each spring—just before Easter—we host a joyful, family-friendly event at Garfield Elementary that brings our community together to celebrate the season with creativity, connection, and fun.

    This event is designed for families of all ages to experience the hope and renewal of Easter in a relaxed and welcoming space. With hands-on activities, sweet treats, and opportunities to gather with neighbors, it’s one of our favorite ways to love where we live.

    It’s also an event we build together—with volunteers from our church family helping to create a space where joy, belonging, and the story of Easter come to life.

    Whether you’re looking to serve, bring your family, or invite a friend, we’d love for you to be part of it.

    Easter reminds us that hope has the final word—and we get to live that out in our community.
