St Thomas has been my church family for the past 15 years. There are many Episcopal Churches here in Northern Va but I chose St Thomas because it is small,
you can get to know everyone in the congregation, and it is very warm and friendly. We just hired a new associate rector this year who is young and full of energy and gearing is up to welcome young families. If you have children this is the place to be, complete with a special afternoon service once a month. But we are also multigenerational with many opportunities to get together socially as well as to serve our community, and to reach out to parishioners who may have special needs. We are "multilocated" meaning that you can attend church on Sunday in person OR on zoom, and it is interactive. We have parishoners from as far away as the UK and Canada! Fran Gardner-Smith is our Rector, she is an awesome pastoral presence and, being highly respected in the diocese, attracts a talented staff and also seminarians/deacons in training. We represent a broad spectrum of political views, and in doing so we live out our Baptismal vows to respect the dignity of every human being.
