Welcome to Little River

United Church of Christ

Little River United Church of Christ (Annandale, Virginia) is a community of followers of Jesus of Nazareth. We seek to embody the Spirit of God as set forth in the life, teachings, death, and living presence of Jesus the Christ. Our purpose is twofold: to seek our own and others’ wholeness by experiencing and expressing divine love, and to act prophetically to establish a just way of life. We gather in person and online for: prayer and reflection in worship, enriching music, building relationships, learning, and social justice activities for all ages. We are doubters and seekers, sinners and saints doing our best to create a beloved community with those in the D.C. area and beyond.

During the six weeks of Eastertide, we will experiment with 45-minute small groups before worship on Sunday mornings from April 27 through June 1, and shift our current schedule by 15 minutes. Worship will begin at 10:15 am starting Sunday, April 27. Find out more about our small groups here!

We celebrate those in the LGBTQ+ community, and we strive to be an antiracist congregation. Children of all ages are always welcome in worship. We also have childcare and church school options for infants, children, and youth from 9:30 a.m. to noon each Sunday. Our church building and facilities are wheelchair accessible.

Whether you're a lifelong church-goer or a first-timer, you will find a warm welcome at Little River United Church of Christ. Our hope is that you will take the next step into this community. A friendly welcome awaits you at our church, set in a wooded grove in the heart of Fairfax County, Virginia.

Join us for worship in our beautiful, window-lined sanctuary on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. with coffee and conversation in our social hall after the service. All are welcome in worship.
