For four decades, Epiphany has gathered every Sunday in this corner of Chantilly. We are a congregation committed to encountering God through beautiful worship and believing prayer, to building a multi-generational congregation that loves children and families, and to equipping every member to publicly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Whether you’re returning to faith, exploring it for the first time, or simply curious what an Anglican service feels like, welcome!
Peter Frank
Rector (senior pastor)
Most of who we are isn’t visible from a single Sunday morning. Below: what’s coming up, what’s just happened, and how you can help.
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.
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.

At Epiphany, "ministry" isn't a department — it's everyone, doing what we can with what we have. That looks like packing food for kids at Coates Elementary, leading worship at Chantilly Heights memory care center, teaching Sunday school, praying through the congregational prayer line, or supporting our partners in Sudan, Belgium, Uganda and many other places around the world.
There's a way to start that fits your week — whatever shape it's already 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 8:00am (a quieter, traditional service) and 10:30am (with music, livestreamed on YouTube). On Wednesdays we hold a Simple Eucharist at noon, and Morning Prayer is offered at 9:00am 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.
Worship with us in person on Sunday morning, or join the 10:30 service from wherever you are — the welcome is the same.
