Welcome To the Alexandria church of Christ
WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP AND BIBLE STUDY!
Alexandria church of Christ is open to worshippers of all ages and backgrounds. We lead our congregation in worship, deepening the connection to God, understanding the teachings of Christ, and ultimately to a vibrant faith.
We have a long, proud history of serving the people of Alexandria. Through the dedication of our leadership, staff members, and church family members, we are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ and are here to spread His message of Love for us and Salvation for those who obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that live their lives according to the scriptures found in the Bible. Contact us today to find out more about becoming part of the Alexandria church of Christ community.
About Us
Please come and visit our worship services, and learn how important understanding the Bible is to us. You will enjoy the atmosphere and the loving, friendly spirit, where the only expectations we have on you as a visitor is to feel welcome.
Many people are hesitant to attend worship services at an unfamiliar church. To help alleviate any apprehensions you may have regarding our congregation, we would like to explain what you can expect when you visit with us at Alexandria church of Christ
First of all, you will find no exclusive pews for any person. Everyone is greeted with equal courtesy and kindness (Acts 10:34-35; Galatians 3:28).
You will find no tendency toward entertainment with beautiful organ or piano music. Like the first-century Christians, we will engage in the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs acapella, without instrumental musical accompaniment of any kind (Ephesians 5:19). The words used in our songs and hymns will be easy to understand (1 Corinthians 14:15). God has commanded the sincere praise of His people to come from the heart (Colossians 3:16).
Order And Reverence
You will not be confused by many people speaking or praying at the same time. Good order will prevail at every service (1 Corinthians 14:33). You will observe one of the brethren leading the congregation reverently and quietly in prayer (1 Timothy 2:1-5).
If you are present on Sunday, the Lord's Day, you will observe the congregation eating bread and drinking the fruit of the vine in memory of the death of Christ (Matthew 26:26-29). We do this on the first day of every week, like the Christians in the first century (Acts 20:7).
You will not find special collections taken at every service. A collection is taken only on the Lord's Day (1 Corinthians 16:1-3). This congregation is supported by the free will offerings of its members. We do not ask non-members to support our work financially, nor do we engage in fundraising activities like rummage sales and bingo games. We specialize in being a church and do not compete with places of amusement.
The Bible Is Our Only Guide
You will observe that the Bible is the textbook to which reference is repeatedly made in our classes and sermons. Special emphasis is placed on that part of the Bible known as the New Testament (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Romans 1:16). You will never be asked to accept what some man says about the Bible; we want you to read the Bible for yourself to see "whether those things are so" (Acts 17:11).
The audience will not be embarrassed or singled out for any sort of demonstration or testimony. You can quietly observe and study that which you see and hear (1 Corinthians 14:40).
Salvation In Christ
You will hear obedience to the will of Christ emphasized as necessary to salvation: faith in Christ as taught in the gospel (Romans 10:17); "believe" after "faith as Christ taught in the gospel." (John 8:24); repentance (Luke 24:47); confession of faith in Christ (Romans 10:9-10); and baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38).
If there should be a response from someone in the audience to the appeal mentioned above, you will see them taken to a pool of water where, in simple likeness to the burial of Christ, they will be buried in water and raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3-4).
You will be more than welcome at all of our services. Please come and bring your Bible to "search the Scriptures" with us. If you do not have a Bible, we will be happy to give you one.
Come and visit our worship services, and learn how important the understanding of the word of God, the Bible, is to us here. You will enjoy the atmosphere at our services, where the only expectations we have on you as a visitor is to feel welcome.
About Our Location
Our rather picturesque little church is located across the Potomac River from Washington DC, two miles south of Reagan National Airport. We are a warm, loving, ethnically diverse congregation of all ages (to include children) committed to worshipping and serving God.
Our usual Sunday morning service has about 40 people present since our return to the church building.
Our congregation began meeting locally about 75 years ago in 1946.
We strive to be known by the way that we share God's love with others. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
Our Full-time preacher and Minister, Keith George, can be contacted through the Contact Form on the "Get In Touch" page.
Worship and Bible Study
We Welcome You To Worship and Learn From God's Word With Us
Sunday Morning Bible Study

This is our Sunday morning study of God's Word (also referred to as Sunday School). Here we dive into the Scriptures to discover what God tells us and how we are to apply what He tells us to our daily lives. We have adult, teen, and children's classes. We teach exactly what the Bible says in an effort to assist everyone in following the path God laid out for us how to live our lives so that we inherit eternal life.
Sunday Morning Worship Service
Sundays Starting at 10 am
In this service, we praise and worship the Almighty God as commanded in the scriptures. We sing hymns (acapella), we pray to God, we take the Lord's Supper every first day of the week, we receive the collection, and we hear the sermon given by Brother Keith, our Full-Time Preacher and Minister, or by the guest preacher designated to break the bread of life to us. Women do not lead the worship service.
Sunday Evening Worship Service
Sundays Starting at 5 pm
We reassemble to worship God in the evenings. Once again, we sing hymns (acapella), we pray to God, we take the Lord's Supper every first day of the week, we receive the collection, and we hear the sermon given by Brother Keith, our Full-Time Preacher and Minister, or by the guest preacher designated to break the bread of life to us. Although members attend this service in addition to the morning worship, many who are not able to attend the morning worship attend this service.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
Wednesdays Starting at 7 pm
We gather every Wednesday evening to study God's word. Here we dive into the Scriptures to discover what God tells us and how we are to apply what He tells us to our daily lives.
