St Peter's In the Woods

St. Peter's in the Woods is an Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Virginia. At St. Peter's in the Woods our vision is Joyful Worship, Faithful Service.

We were founded as a mission church in 1988 by the Church of the Good Shepherd in nearby Burke. As a mission church, we were financially supported by the Diocese while we grew our ministry. Services began in 1989 in Bonnie Brae Elementary School, which remained our place of worship until we moved into our current building in Fairfax Station in January, 1998.

In 2013, St. Peter's in the Woods achieved status as a full parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, meaning we are now a fully independent and self-supporting parish.
