Please Remember, We Have Officially Designated our Facility at the Church in Annandale, Virginia, as
The United Baptist Church Mission Center
WE HAVE WEEKDAY SPACE AVAILABLE IN OUR CHURCH FACILITY AND VENUE IN ANNANDALE, VIRGINIA FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS THAT FILL HUMAN NEEDS.
Please contact the office by phone, 703.256.5900, M-F or email if you are interested in a TOUR!
Biblically, each church is a Mission Center—a facility in which the church (identified as each congregant) gathers to remember and celebrate the Biblical truth that each person is the church, in human body form, moving among persons “on the street” (as Jesus moved there) to meet persons’ human NEEDS as well as to spotlight each person meeting NEEDS through their job, volunteerism, neighboring and family!
But because earlier congregants also envisioned church as a facility—not just persons—we have come to recognize that the same persons we meet daily “on the streets,” with whom individually we try to be “church,” can be invited inside God’s facility for activities that meet their NEEDS. Jesus himself prayed that we create “Life on earth as it is in Heaven.” So, the current and future group activities under the roof of our Mission Center Facility do try to do that which we are committing ourselves to do one-to-one every day “on the streets” where we live.Wouldn't you like to participate in serving Fairfax County in this way? In addition to large group venue space, we also offer classroom, rehearsal and meeting spaces for such groups. Costs are negotiable.
