What to Expect

CCV meets Sundays at 10:00am in the James Madison High School Auditorium

(2500 James Madison Drive, Vienna, VA)

Christ Church Vienna is a casual environment where we encourage folks to wear what they want: you’ll see T-shirts and jeans, suit and tie, some kids in dresses and some in soccer uniforms, etc. We want people to feel free to enter and engage as they are comfortable.

Our Sunday Service is a unique mix of the ancient and current, the liturgical and informal.

We begin with singing hymns—old and new—with music that is more acoustic rather than highly produced, with the occasional folk flare. Besides singing, we hear from God’s Word: the Bible is read and a sermon is preached. We join together in corporate prayer, praying for our community, our nation, our world, and ourselves.

Spanish Translation and Integration

As we worship alongside our Spanish-speaking friends, all the liturgy is projected in English and Spanish. You’ll hear some of the prayers or announcements in Spanish, and some integrated into the songs that we sing. Live Spanish translation is also available with headsets.

Kids Classes

During the sermon and prayers, kids preschool through 5th grade are dismissed to classes where they engage in a Bible passage with some hands-on learning and fun.  Middle and High School students stay in the service, but have their own Student Ministry activities at other times.

Holy Communion

Once the kids return from their classes, we finish our service by celebrating Holy Communion (The Lord’s Supper). People come forward to share from the common bread and cup, or to receive a blessing. 

When the service concludes, many folks stay around to meet or catch up over coffee and bread from our local neighbors Caffe Amouri and Great Harvest Bread Company.
