Leesburg Presbyterian Church

What Leesburg Presbyterian Church does

Leesburg Presbyterian Church (LPC) is a 220+ year-old non-profit religious organization founded in 1804 and located at 207 W. Market St., Leesburg, Virginia, operating as a congregation within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denomination through the National Capital Presbytery. The church serves approximately 250+ members plus a broader Leesburg and Loudoun County community, with weekly Sunday worship services at 10:00 AM delivered both in-person in its historic sanctuary (seating 150+) and via livestream on YouTube and Facebook. LPC operates with a small paid staff of 8 supplemented by an extensive volunteer base, and is led by Pastor Rev. Katie Strednak Singer (installed October 2023), supported by an Office Manager, Treasurer, Music Director, LPC Preschool Director, Youth Director, and Small Group Coordinator.

The church's portfolio spans 13+ core ministry programs organized around four pillars: worship (Sunday services, weddings, pastoral care), education (LPC Preschool est. 1972, children's programs, youth group, adult education), community service (Grace to Go weekly meal prep with St. James Episcopal, Loudoun Hunger Relief food drives, FUELED school food bags, Be The Neighbor Fund for immigration assistance, Keep Loudoun Beautiful river cleanup, Cuba Connection international mission partnership), and equity/environmental stewardship (Earth Care Congregation certified 2023, Dismantling Racism initiative, LGBTQIA+ Ministry recognized as Equality Loudoun Equality Ally). The LPC Preschool is a wholly-owned subsidiary operating since 1972, providing faith-based early childhood education for children ages 3-5 from the greater Leesburg area.

LPC's revenue model is donation-based with no fees for core services. Revenue streams include weekly tithes and offerings (in-person, mail, online via onRealm, ACH), the Legacy Fund endowment (with a $5,000 threshold for engraved recognition), four annual PC(USA) denomination-wide special offerings (One Great Hour of Sharing, Pentecost, Peace & Global Witness, Christmas Joy), and the Be The Neighbor Fund for immigration assistance. Modest supplementary income derives from LPC Preschool tuition, wedding facility fees, and the in-kind labor of volunteers. Distribution is primarily through in-person worship at the historic Leesburg building, supplemented by online livestream, with community outreach executed through a network of 15+ local and international partnerships. The church received multiple awards in 2023-2025 including the Tolbert Award for Environmental Stewardship (2024), NWF Certified Wildlife Habitat (2025), and a Presbyterian Mission feature story (2024).
