Worship God. Serve Others. Embrace All.
Worship Schedule
Join us for in-person worship on Sunday at 10:30 AM
Central United Methodist Church Arlington, Virginia
John 13:34-35 (Common English Bible)
“I give you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, so you also must love each other. This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, when you love each other.”
It’s been my privilege to serve as the pastor of Central UMC since 2014. In that time I’ve witnessed a community living out their faith as disciples of Jesus by following his commandment to love one another. At Central, we extend God’s love to one another during times of illness or crisis, and we also extend God’s love to our neighbors through serving others. Currently, our community is in a season of transition. Our church property is under construction to create a new facility with space for worship, Kinhaven school, and 144 units of committed affordable housing. During construction, we’re temporarily located in a nearby church where we worship in person on Saturday mornings and where we prepare food for the homeless services center every Friday morning. We look forward to moving into our completed facility in the Spring of 2024 where we can expand the ways that we feed our hungry neighbors and serve our community.
Our church worships God, serves others, and embraces all. If you’d like to join us for worship please (click here) for details for Saturday’s in-person services or Sunday’s virtual worship services. Join our email list (link) to find ways to join us in serving others. And, know that no matter who you are or where you come from you are welcome in our church family.
Grace and Peace, Pastor Sarah
Worship on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Our address is 4201 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203.
We are at the corner of Fairfax Drive and Stafford Street.
As you drive west on Fairfax Drive after you cross Stafford Street you will turn right onto the
driveway located between the CUMC/Unity Homes building and the First Down Sports Bar.
If you are coming from Rt. 66 you will be driving east on Fairfax Drive. It is not legal to make a U-
turn at Fairfax Drive and Stafford Street, and there is no way to turn left into our driveway.
So, the easiest route is to turn left onto Glebe Road; turn right onto 11th Street; turn right onto Stafford Street; turn right onto Fairfax Drive and then turn right onto the driveway located between the CUMC/Unity Homes building and the First Down Sports Bar.
There is an entrance to the underground garage on the right side of this driveway. If the garage
entrance is not already open please ring the intercom button for the church which will enable us to open the garage for you.
Park in any spot marked for the church (don’t worry about needing a permit on Sundays) and
follow the signs to the church elevator.
The maps on the next page will help you visualize the layout of our property.
