If you’ve never lived in NOVA (our nickname for Northern Virginia), you should know it’s a beautiful and exciting place to live. Centreville is well‑known for being a very diverse and sequence tour, international area. Near “downtown” Centreville, we have several Korean, Thai, Ethiopian, and Vietnamese businesses to eat and enjoy. These make for an enjoyable and educational time with the family!

Speaking of an enjoyable time, Centreville is right outside Washington DC and not too far from the Shenandoah mountains. If you visit, you’ll most likely want to stay here and take in all that the city has to offer!

We are a Bible‑based, Gospel‑focused, Discipleship‑passionate Presbyterian church. I hope it’s clear from that sentence where our priorities are.

We aren’t just looking for someone to run a Children’s program. We are looking for another member of our team and a leader in our church family. We want someone whose gifts, faith, and friendship influence our lives and all of the ministries ’ll be joining a team of enjoyable and talented followers of Jesus. You don’t need to be Presbyterian to come on board, but we do have a few distinctives that we think you may find refreshing.

God is moving at CPC! We are in a period of growth and change as new generations of families come.
