Welcome Home!

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

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.

Scripture

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. 

Community

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. 

This Week's Service

Make an Impact for 2025 With Stewardship 

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.

Our Story

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.

We Believe God Loves Us All - No Exceptions

"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."

FAQS

  • What does it mean to be an Episcopal Church?

    As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.  We are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which is historically anchored in the Church of England.

    Our theology is based on the “three legged stool” – Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. We welcome questions as we come together to search for meaning and purpose in our lives, grounded in God’s abundant love for all.

    We believe that God loves you and all of creation – no exceptions.   

    We strive to exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations which is reflected in those who serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.


    Core aspects of our belief are: 

    • The Book of Common Prayer 

    • The Bible

    • Baptismal Covenant 

    • The Catechism (questions & answers about our faith, found in the Book of Common Prayer)

    • The Creeds

    • The Sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Unction)
