Welcome to Epiphany

Epiphany Anglican is a Chantilly church where people meet God in worship and in prayer. On Sundays we gather for a quiet, traditional service at 8:00 a.m., or a 10:30 a.m. service with Sunday school for children preschool through grade 5, traditional hymns and contemporary music. At both services, we hear the Bible, pray together, and eat together at the communion table as Christians have for two-thousand years.

Are you returning to faith, exploring it for the first time, or just curious? Meet God at Epiphany. We would love to meet you.

Beyond Sunday

We love our neighbors, meet in small groups, learn, and pray together.

Get Involved. Have fun.

From Vacation Bible School and monthly seniors' lunches to Shrove Tuesday pancakes before Lent and parish weekends in the woods, life at Epiphany happens well beyond Sunday morning. Some of these events are how we welcome our neighbors in; others are simply how we enjoy each other's company outside the sanctuary

Take a look at what's coming up - there's almost always room for one more.

What's going on

Each week our rector, Fr. Peter, writes a short letter to the parish - sometimes a reflection on the coming Sunday's readings, sometimes a pastoral note, sometimes a story of where God has shown up among us. You'll also find recent sermon recordings, photos from congregational events, and notes on the seasons of the church year.

Serve

Jesus calls us to love our neighbors. At Epiphany we take that call seriously. As a church, we tithe (give 10 percent) of what is given to us to work beyond our church’s front door.

There are multiple ways to get involved. You can help cook meals for our area’s homeless population, or give staples for the food shelf we sponsor at a local elementary school. You can help us bring worship and companionship to a local memory-care center. There are many ways to serve at Epiphany.

What people wonder before walking in

Church of the Epiphany is an Anglican congregation in Chantilly, Virginia, gathering for worship since 1986. We are part of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), and we worship using the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. Our name “Epiphany” means appearance – the appearance of God in Jesus Christ – and that’s what we gather every Sunday to encounter.

Sunday Holy Communion is celebrated at 8:00 a.m. (a quieter, traditional service) and 10:30 a.m. (with music, livestreamed on YouTube). On Wednesdays we hold a Simple Eucharist at noon, and Morning Prayer is offered at 9:00 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Visitors are welcome at any service.

Expect a service of about 75 minutes that follows a printed bulletin, so you can follow along easily even on a first visit. You’ll hear Scripture read aloud, sing hymns, listen to a roughly 20-minute sermon, and share in Holy Communion. There’s no dress code, you won’t be asked to introduce yourself, and you’ll be welcomed without being singled out.

All baptized and believing Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Epiphany – you don’t need to be Anglican, a member, or confirmed at our church.  If it is better for you not to receive you are warmly invited to come forward for a prayer of blessing instead. Simply cross your arms over your chest at the rail and the priest will pray for you. 

Both traditions trace their roots to the Church of England, but they are now separate North American churches with different emphases. Church of the Epiphany is part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), formed in 2009 to continue historic Anglican faith and worship – the authority of Scripture, the historic creeds, and the Book of Common Prayer.

Anglican Christians believe that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  We trust the Bible as the inspired Word of God.  Our faith is summarized in the Apostles and Nicene Creeds and the councils of the early church.  At Epiphany, we look to the Bible as it is explained in our catechism, “To Be a Christian,” and the Book of Common Prayer to shape our doctrine and teaching.

A few good words

This church has been family to me for all 31 years of my life. Very welcoming! The music is outstanding and the clergy do a great job sharing the Gospel. If you’re in northern Virginia and looking for a church to call home I highly recommend checking out Epiphany!

I am a longtime member of the Church of the Epiphany. We have always been known for our gifts of hospitality and generous support of our congregation and our neighbors. I enjoy Father Peter's and Mother Pamela's sermons that help us see God's love, mercy and grace through the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We have a growing Sunday School and nursery program for families with children. It is truly a welcoming place to be on Sunday mornings.

I was baptized at Epiphany nearly 20 years ago when I was in my mid 30's. I know no other church but this one. Epiphany is a place to Worship, encounter God, become enriched and develop truly meaningful friendships. Epiphany is my family.

Epiphany is a very friendly and welcoming church that recognizes the power of prayer and God's activity in our lives. The preaching is excellent, the music is inspiring (hymns on the organ and praise band at communion), and the service has just the right level of tradition.

My family has been a part of this church family for over 30 years. The prayer support and teaching keep us spiritually fed and growing. We love the spectrum of worship styles here that allow us to experience God through traditional hymns on the organ as well as contemporary praise songs. Quiet Days let us put the world aside and be still to reconnect and renew.
