Chesterbrook United Methodist Church was founded in 1906, and serves northeastern Fairfax and Arlington Counties in Virginia. The Sanctuary (left) was built in 1920, and the education building originally constructed in 1959 was completely renovated in 2008. The Chesterbrook Preschool and Child Care Center was opened in September 2008 in a wing of the new Ministry Center (above). |

Our Mission We are a congregation of the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. Our congregational vision and driving purpose is Loving God, Growing in the Spirit, Loving Others, and Bringing Others to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Our denomination’s Constitution declares that the Church is a “redeemed and redeeming fellowship in which the Word of God is preached by persons divinely called, and the Sacraments are duly administered according to Christ’s own appointment.” Chesterbrook United Methodist Church seeks to engage in this vision of ministry through the connection to the Virginia Conference and its own program of ministry in the immediate neighborhood. |

Church Profile CUMC was organized in 1906; the present sanctuary was built in 1920. At the time, the Chesterbrook, McLean, and Potomac River area of Fairfax County was largely rural, and so was the congregation. After World War II, this area became increasingly suburban, and Chesterbrook UMC grew to over 500 members by the 1960s. An education building was built in 1959. Today, with about 100 members, Chesterbrook Church is a blend of its rural origins and recent developments in modern ministry. It is at once a touch of traditional Americana and a center of ministry in a community of nationally- and internationally- focused government, military, educational and religious people, families and organizations. |
