Are you associated with a denomination?
Reston Bible Church is not associated with any denomination. When the church was started in 1975, it was started with the desire and intention to be a Bible-believing and teaching ministry led by the Lord Jesus Christ and a plurality of elders. Through the years, no need or desire has been felt to be formally associated with any denomination. We pursue relationships with other local churches for the purpose of unified praise, prayer, and worship of our lord Jesus Christ.
What are your weekend services like at RBC?
Worship services are held each Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Our worship services are a blend of contemporary and traditional styles. A typical service includes a Scripture reading, announcements, musical worship, prayer, communion (usually on the first weekend of the month), and Bible-based preaching. Dress is casual—you will find people wearing anything from suits to shorts and T-shirts. For more info on Sunday services, click here.
