Welcome to Faith.

As life continues to be complex and complicated, we show up here at Faith Lutheran Church to be rooted in God’s love. We hope to be a community that reaches out beyond our roots to stretch our branches wide and share this wild, gracious, never ending love with the world around us.

Whether you have been Lutheran your whole life or you have never been to church before, you have a place here. Join us for worship on a Sunday morning or at another time to experience how deep and wide God’s love is for you and for your neighbor.

Join Us for Worship

Join us for worship Sundays at 10 AM. You can view the livestream at flcva.org/live or on Faith’s Facebook Live page. When you come for worship at Faith Lutheran you can expect to . . .

participate
         We whole-heartedly believe worship is the work of all people. There will be spaces for you to participate in worship with your prayers, singing, and spoken responses. We have communion every week with options of wheat wafers, gluten free wafers, white grape juice and red wine. We practice an open table, meaning all are welcome to receive communion. We are casual. You are invited to come as you are and participate as you feel led. 
experience beautiful music. 
        We love music. You will hear contemporary music with drums and bass alongside classical instrumental solos and traditional organ music. We appreciate high quality music and have paid section leaders on our worship staff. We also invite the congregation to participate too. We have a pop-up choir most weeks where you are invited to come at 8:45 AM to learn a piece of music to sing during the offertory.
be embraced by a little chaos. 
       Kids are fully welcome in worship and this means it can get a little noisy. We have a kids library in the front of our worship space, busy bags with small quiet toys and kids bulletins each week. The kids are also invited up front for a children’s message to hear the love of God at their level. 
hear a word of grace. 
       We fully embrace being a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and we hope you will experience God’s love and grace for you in worship. We are all saints and sinners and we lean into those baptismal promises to work for justice and peace and care for the world God has made. We hope you leave worship comforted by the unconditional love of God, as well as challenged to go out and do good out in the world.

Faith is a RIC Congregation

For two years, Faith Lutheran members worked together to become a RIC member congregation. We held regular forums to discuss what it means to be inclusive and celebrate all people – specifically the LGBTQIA+ community – and craft a Welcome Statement.

In September 2025, the congregation overwhelmingly approved a Welcome Statement and voted to become a Reconciling in Christ congregation.

Faith Lutheran Welcome Statement:

At Faith Lutheran Church, we celebrate and give thanks for the many different gifts that God has bestowed on each of us as unique creations made in God’s own image.

We are called by Jesus to love God and one another. We reflect God’s boundless love in loving and serving our neighbors with open hearts.

As such, you are beloved, accepted, and affirmed here.

No matter who you are or where you are on your faith journey, we invite you to join us. We welcome, without limitation, people of every race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital or family status, ability or disability, and economic and social status.

We commit ourselves to supporting social and economic justice, environmental care, and anti-racism efforts as faithful responses to the call to love others and God’s beloved creation.

Christ’s message, the Gospel, is for everyone equally, and we strive to provide a nurturing and affirming setting in which all may gather, worship, and serve.

Our Mission Statement

Faith Lutheran Church welcomes all to gather, worship, and serve. Rooted in God’s unconditional love, we reach out with open hearts to our neighbors both in Arlington and around the world.
