Welcome to Kirkwood, the "church in the woods.” Nestled among towering oaks and colorful dogwoods and camellias, we offer the surrounding Springfield, Virginia area and greater community a place of worship and song, of prayer and learning. We offer the Lord of Life whose compassion and comfort and whose grace and guidance may be found in a gathering of fellow Christians, drawn together in faith, hope and love. We are young and old, married and single, and together we are sisters and brothers of Jesus Christ. |
Join us for hybrid worship this Sunday at 11 am. Hybrid Worship includes those who are worshipping in-person in our sanctuary and those who are worshiping from home via live-streaming of the service. You are strongly encouraged to mask for the safety of others, however, masks are not required. If you are sick, symptomatic, or have been exposed to covid, please refrain from worshiping in person.

Children's Sunday School: Godly Play Sunday School for ages 3 through 12 is held on Sunday mornings before worship from 10:00 - 10:45 am in the classroom next to the conference room (formerly a nursery). We welcome all of Kirkwood's children to join us as we make meaning through story, wonder and play. There will be no Godly Play Sunday School this week (as most of the class will be away on Spring Break). Godly Play will resume on Easter Sunday, April 9.
Weekly Wednesday Fellowship: Join us every Wednesday from 6:30-7:30 pm for an online fellowship opportunity using the Zoom meeting platform. Each week, the host will begin our time together with prayer and perhaps a brief devotion, then turn it over for open conversation.
