Welcome to

Falls Church Presbyterian

We would love for you to join us as we seek to be faithful together.

What to Expect

Join us for worship Sundays at 10:00 a.m.

10:00 a.m. Summer Worship in the Sanctuary

The Sacrament of Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month. Child care is available in the nursery on the second floor. Traditional hymns typically led by various members or the Chancel Choir are accompanied by piano or organ music.

Spiritual Growth Opportunities for All Ages

Sunday morning classes take place during the 9:30 a.m. hour, September-May. Other spiritual growth offerings occur throughout the week, including monthly Presbyterian Women’s Circles, Tuesday Centering Prayer, and Saturday Bible Study & Fellowship Group. Gathering Groups—small groups who meet for a short period of time—meet periodically and at different times to explore a topic of common interest. 

Frequently asked questions

How long is a typical worship service?

Our worship services are typically one hour long or less.

Where do I park?

Parking is available on three sides of the building and along E. Fairfax Street. Handicapped parking access is available at the E. Fairfax Street entrance.

How do I enter?

Our building is almost 150 years old and has several additions with multiple entries – which can be confusing! The main entrance to the sanctuary is up the stairs through the double doors off the back parking lot. Worshipers may also enter Fellowship Hall up the stairs through the set of doors off the front parking lot. If you’re visiting the church office, the entrance is just inside the double doors off the back parking lot.

Is there a nursery?

Our nursery is open and ready to serve your family. We offer nursery care for infants to age 4 in Room 201 during the 9:30 a.m. spiritual growth hour and the 10:45 a.m. worship service. Parents may drop off and pick up children throughout this time. Our nursery is staffed by paid and background-checked nursery workers who love kids!

What about kids in worship?

Children are always welcome in our services. There is a Kids’ Corner in the front right of the Sanctuary for children and their grown ups to color, play, and experience worship. The first four pews on the right side of the sanctuary are designated for families with young children, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit there!

What about my teenagers?

We offer a variety of opportunities for youth to get connected at FCPC. Youth are invited to join us in our worship services. We also offer Sunday evening programming, September–May.  Contact Diane Maloney, Director of Spiritual Growth and Community Engagement, for more information.

Are LGBTQ+ persons welcome?

Absolutely! At FCPC we have had a longstanding commitment to bringing about justice for all people. We believe all people are of sacred worth and value. As members of Covenant Network of Presbyterians, we are “working for the unity of the church, furthering the inclusion of LGBTQ persons, seeking understanding and reconciliation, and joining with others seeking a still more just and inclusive church.” Everyone is invited to use whatever restroom is most comfortable for them. For those seeking a gender-neutral restroom, there is one on the main level in the conference room (across from the sanctuary) and two on the third floor.

What should I wear?

We encourage folks to wear what feels most comfortable to them! Some members wear their Sunday best and others wear jeans or shorts! All are welcome!
