THE HOLY TRINITY CHURCH STORY

In 2010, a group of local believers, inspired by God’s work at Holy Trinity Brompton in London, England, and influenced by their experience with Alpha (a discussion
group), established Holy Trinity Church (HTC) in McLean, VA. They held their first worship service in a local family’s basement at 10:10 on Sunday, October 10th, 2010. The founders chose the time and date on purpose to signify the life-verse of the congregation: John 10:10. In this verse, Jesus proclaims His mission, “I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness. “Today, the same desire to engage with God’s Spirit, learn from His word, share meaningful relationships, and live life in Christ in all of its fullness, guides the community onward. A broad array of influences intertwine to make HTC a unique environment. The services include liturgical elements that go back to their Anglican
roots. Yet, they are non-denominational and draw as heavily from contemporary praise and worship songs as they do from hymns. Some clap and raise their hands. Others enjoy quiet reverence. They don’t see one expression of worship as better than another. They are all just there to worship their God and Savior. Located just outside the nation’s capital in a 45,000 sq. ft facility, HTC carries a heart for the greater Washington, D.C. area. Likewise, their passion for the nations is unmistakable. The first two lead pastors were from the United Kingdom, and the current lead pastor, Brian Weaver, has served in ministry for more than 22 years, including leadership roles in the US, Tanzania, and Germany.
HTC embraces orthodox theology and practices its faith with grace toward others. They are multi-ethnic, multi-generational, and multi-socioeconomic. They hope that
everyone who encounters God through HTC, and its amazing people, experience the life Jesus promises in John 10:10.
