Who We Are

We exist because Jesus is worthy of worship; we need one another to follow Him and the world is lost without Him.

We exalt Christ in worship, grow in Christ as family, and make Christ known in our community.

Who We Are

We seek to be a healthy neighborhood church that gathers regularly in worship, connects with one another, and is sent out into the community. We affirm our belief in historic Christianity as revealed in Scripture and summarized in three creeds. We value being proactive, personal, transparent, and diligent, seeking to model gospel care for those in our church family and in our community.

Our Story

Founded in 2006, Christ the King is a parish of the Anglican Church in North America, and part of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic. Under the leadership of Rev. David Glade, CtK quickly grew from a church plant of the Falls Church Anglican to a self-supporting congregation with its own Vestry and Rector. After many years of renting, CtK purchased our property in 2022. Today, CtK is a thriving parish with ministries for every age group, small groups and Bible studies, local and international outreach, and regular community events. We hope that you will join us in what God is doing.

Our Beliefs

We affirm our belief in historic Christianity as revealed in Scripture and summarized in three creeds. We recognize the need today for reaffirming the following beliefs:

  • The one God exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and has so revealed Himself to us in Scripture.

  • Our Lord Jesus Christ, God incarnate and fully human, is, by reason of His birth of the Virgin Mary, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, glorious ascension, and triumphant reign, the only mediator between God and man.

  • The canonical books of the Old and New Testaments are trustworthy as "God’s Word written.” They sufficiently teach God’s will for His world, and have supreme authority for faith, life, and the continuous renewal and reform of the Church.

  • The sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, ordained by Christ Himself, are outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace. When received in true faith and repentance, they are means by which we receive such grace, and they are means by which our faith is strengthened and confirmed.

  • Our Lord Jesus Christ will personally return in glory at the end of this age for the resurrection of the dead, some to life and some to condemnation, for the glorification of His Church and for the renewal of the whole creation.

  • Marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman in which the two become one flesh. Marriage is an ordinance of creation, affirmed by our Lord, and commended by the apostle Paul as a sign of the mystical union between Christ and His Church.
