Restoration Anglican Church

What Restoration Anglican Church does

Restoration Anglican Church is a 501(c)-equivalent religious nonprofit incorporated in Virginia and operating from a single campus at 1815 N Quincy Street in Arlington, Virginia. Founded in 2009 and affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) through the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic, the church delivers weekly Anglican worship services (Sundays at 9:30 and 11:15 am, with seasonal 8:00 am service), livestreamed globally via YouTube. Its operational foundation is a structured small-group system: groups of 10-15 people meeting weekly in 8-10 week trimesters across the DMV area, with a stated goal of expanding from 30+ to 40 active groups.

The church runs a portfolio of core ministries including Children's Small Groups (nursery through 5th grade), Apex Youth Ministry (6th-12th grade), men's and women's ministry, the Alpha course for faith exploration, weddings/funerals/baptism coordination, and an Outreach program partnering with nearly 30 local and global ministries across immigration (RILA, Afghan Neighbors), food insecurity (AFAC, Arlington Bridge Builders, Central Union Mission), disability (L'Arche), and international missions (Bolivia, West Asia). The Restoration 2030 strategic vision layers in long-form small groups, Winter Forums, clergy-taught theology classes, and a structured new-member formation sequence. Digital products include the Pray & Ponder podcast (currently Season 6) and an archive of sermons and videos.

The technology stack is built on the Planning Center ecosystem — Church Center for congregation-facing features (giving, registration, volunteer scheduling) and Planning Center Services for internal scheduling — supplemented by YouTube for livestream, Mailchimp for newsletters, and the Church Center mobile app. The church migrated from Church Community Builder to Church Center in 2024. Revenue is entirely voluntary: tithes and offerings collected in-person and through the Church Center giving platform, with no formal annual pledge drive and no public financial disclosure. Programs are free to attendees. The institution is governed by an elected Vestry under the Rector (David Hanke), supported by an Executive Director (Kat Downs), Director of Outreach and Associate Rector (Scott Buckhout), Director of Kids' Small Groups (Louise Brooks), and a broader staff of 11-50.
