We hope your visit to this site will lead you to visit us in person.
Antioch Christian Church of Vienna, Virginia, is a welcoming community that dates back to 1903. A shared faith in Jesus Christ is the common thread that unites us as disciples. Stressing the centrality of the Bible in faith and the call for unity among Christian believers of all denominations, Antioch is an independent congregation affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
This ecumenical denomination was formed during the early 1800s on the American frontier. Its founders were Scottish Presbyterians who sought to be free from the sectarian divisions of Europe in the expression of their faith. They rejected the traditional creeds of the church as "tests of faith," claiming Christ alone as their creed and the Bible as their book. They founded a church for people who wanted to be Christians only, but not the only Christians.
In stressing unity, therefore, we do not expect uniformity. There is much diversity of thought among members. It is our shared faith that ties us together. At our weekly gathering for worship and communion, all Christians of every denomination are invited to participate and celebrate the life, death, resurrection, and continuing presence of the Christ. It is expected that members will find ways to witness for Christ and serve among the whole human family in the interest of love, peace, justice, mercy, and kindness.
We hope you will worship with us soon and experience the warmth and peace found at Antioch Christian Church.
