St. Margaret's Episcopal Church (Woodbridge, VA)

The faith community was reestablished in 1963, as parishioners from St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Dumfries and Pohick Episcopal Church purchased property below Bel Air, the historic former home of Parson Weems, rector of Dumfries parish after the American Revolutionary War and famous for his anecdotes concerning George Washington.

Nonetheless, as (sub)urbanization spread after World War II, Prince William county once again could support a parish, and this parish first met in Fred Lynn Junior High School during construction.

[1] St. Margaret's parish reorganized in 2007, after much of the congregation broke away in disputes over the ordination of women and the first openly gay bishop, Eugene Robinson.

It offers many opportunities for involvement, both as a way of getting to know people and a way of sharing special talents and interests.

Through holy scripture, prayers, songs, Holy Communion, education, service projects, and fellowship we grow in our love and understanding of God, our relationship with Jesus Christ and our life in the Kingdom of God.
