The Falls Church

What The Falls Church does

The Falls Church Anglican (TFCA) is an evangelical Anglican congregation in Falls Church, Virginia, tracing its spiritual lineage to a congregation established in 1732. It separated from the Episcopal Church in 2006–2007 and is now affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America and the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic. The church operates from a campus on Arlington Boulevard offering three Sunday services (traditional at 8:00a, sanctuary with choir/organ at 9:00a, contemporary at 11:00a), weekday prayer services, and an online livestream for the 9:00a and 11:00a services.

Its product surface extends well beyond Sunday worship to include age-segmented ministries (children, youth, young adults, men, women, seniors), small groups across Northern Virginia and DC, healing and intercessory prayer ministry, a worship and music program with adult and children's choirs, a production team for technical production, the Fellows Program for recent college graduates, a Whole Life Discipleship initiative with the Liturgy Box devotional system, life-event services (baptisms, weddings, funerals, columbarium interment opened May 2024), and a content sub-brand called The Falls Music distributed on Spotify. Technology is limited to standard church-management tools: onRealm powers online giving, text-to-give, and event registration, while Microsoft Forms handles small-group registration. There is no proprietary technology, app, or AI capability.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary member contributions: recurring annual pledges, tithes, offerings, designated gifts (e.g., the Organ Fund, debt reduction pledges), and ancillary income from weddings, funerals, and the columbarium. Digital giving options include online donations, text-to-give, and stock donations. The organization is governed by an elected vestry alongside the rector, with no venture, private equity, or public ownership. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is diffuse across the congregation, and the church has executed a multi-site growth strategy by planting seven daughter churches across Northern Virginia and Washington DC while supporting local outreach (For the Nations DC, YoungLife) and global missions partnerships (Anglican Frontier Missions, Anglican Relief & Development Fund, Compassion Project Brazil).

Others

• Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic: Regional ACNA diocese encompassing TFCA and over 40 congregations; an ecosystem counterpart that shapes governance, planting partnerships, and ordinands feeding into TFCA's fellowships and ministries.
• YoungLife: National youth ministry organization that partners with TFCA for teen outreach; an 'OTHERS' peer that shares the youth and missions distribution channel rather than competing for worshippers directly.

Direct peers

• Church of the Resurrection (Leawood, KS): The largest ACNA congregation in North America; direct peer in evangelical Anglican worship, multi-site format, and national scale.
• Church of the Apostles (Atlanta): Founding ACNA congregation comparable in mission, evangelical Anglican identity, and regional planting/church-multiplication footprint to TFCA.
• Truro Anglican Church: Large Anglican congregation in Fairfax, VA that also departed the Episcopal Church and joined ACNA; comparable size, region, and denominational trajectory to TFCA and a natural peer for Anglican worship in the DC metro.

Broad incumbents

• National Cathedral (Washington National Cathedral): Prominent Episcopal cathedral in DC that, while traditionally Anglo-Catholic rather than evangelical, is a high-visibility worship institution in the immediate Falls Church/Washington market.

Regional players

• McLean Bible Church: One of the largest non-denominational churches in Northern Virginia; competes for the same DC-metro families and is a direct regional benchmark in attendance and programming breadth.
• Christ Church (Georgetown): Historic Episcopal congregation nearby in Washington, DC; comparable scale, historic stature, and regional draw within the same metropolitan catchment.

Emerging players

• Watermark Church (Plano, TX): Large evangelical church known for church planting and discipleship pathways; useful peer for benchmarking TFCA's Whole Life Discipleship and Fellows programming.
• The Summit Church (Durham, NC): Large, multi-generational evangelical church noted for church planting and missions; comparable model and comparable ethos to TFCA across youth, adults, and missions programming.
