Dear St. David's Community:
The worship service for tomorrow, Sunday, January 19th at 10am will be held unless the accumulation is greater than six inches by 10am tomorrow morning.
Current plans are to limit aspects of the service, when possible, e.g., we will not have a Children's Sermon tomorrow. In addition, we have rescheduled the after-church volunteer/service event to the following weekend.
We are currently set to live-stream the service, and you can access that here or by clicking the button below.
If you have any concerns about driving in this weather, please make your safety a priority.
Thank you for being God's Church!
Faithfully,
Rev. Stephen
Welcome to St. David's Episcopal Church in Ashburn, VA! We are a vibrant, diverse community with over 100 families, committed to joyful worship, lifelong learning, outreach, and fellowship. Our unique blended worship style combines traditional hymns and organ music with contemporary praise from our band, reflecting the richness of our community. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.
~ Romans 12:4-5
Faith is the cornerstone of our church. The story of St. David’s is ultimately a story of the Spirit of God moving through and among us as God’s people. Knowing that all things come of God, seeing God in all things.
We look to the Lord for guidance in our lives. In Scripture, we find all that we need to guide us in the right path. Reading and understanding Scripture helps us all live meaningful lives.
God has called each of us to this place. Each of us offers a unique gift to contribute to ministry at St. David’s. St. David’s relies on each of us giving all we can to make our community work.
We are coming together to celebrate our gratitude for all that God has provided: our families, our work, and all the beautiful nature surrounding us. We are especially grateful for the human connections we forge with others, particularly within our church community, as we join together in the uplifting and live-giving experience of worship.
Be a part of this amazing opportunity to Walk in Love!
The story of St. David’s is one of faith and community. For over 150 years, we’ve worshipped on sacred ground, thanks to visionary leaders like Margaret Mercer, who founded a school here in 1836. In 1990, St. David’s became a mission church, starting with just 12 members. Today, we are a diverse, welcoming community, bound by love, worship, and service. Together, we strive to see God in all things and reflect His love in the world, supporting one another through blessings and challenges.
Help support communities affected by hurricanes through the Episcopal Relief & Development Hurricane Relief Fund. Your generous contribution will aid in providing immediate assistance, as well as long-term recovery efforts, for those impacted by devastating storms.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable communities. Please consider donating today to bring hope and relief to those in need.
The fires in California have been tragic. Many faith communities have lost everything. St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and School is one of them. Prayer is something we all can do and prayer with action is what we are called to as disciples, “to go forth to love and serve the Lord".
Together with the Prayer Quilt Ministry Team you and your families are invited to stay after service on January 19th to help create pocket prayer quilts that will be sent to this community as a tangible reminder that they are held in prayer and not alone.
There is something for everyone to do to support our brothers and sisters in Christ at St. Marks.

"In the first century, Jesus of Nazareth inspired a movement. A community of people whose lives were centered on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of God’s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. As Episcopalians, we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world.
We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being. Ordination and the offices of bishop, priest, and deacon are open to all without discrimination. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
We believe that God loves us all – no exceptions."
