Juan Esteban Saravia, born in Santiago, is currently serving as the Spanish Pastor at Christ Church Vienna, Vienna, VA and is studying for a master’s degree at the Anglican Seminary – Trinity School for Ministry. On January 25, 2025 in Santiago, Chile, Juan Esteban will be consecrated as the second Bishop for the Diocese of Santiago, Chile. 

In December, Christ Church Vienna in Vienna, VA, offered Christmas services in Spanish. The response has been heartening, with new families attending after learning about the services through outreach to local elementary schools' social workers.

This has been the heart and vision of our church, Christ Church Vienna, as we have taken prayerful, consistent and intentional steps toward knowing and inviting our Spanish-speaking neighbors here in Vienna into our lives and into the life of our church.  Ultimately our prayer is that Jesus would take the different groups that exist in our community that are all too easily divided, isolated and unknown one to another, and reconcile us to himself to create something new as we are all welcomed into one extended family, with Christ as our head.

The Falls Church Anglican resumes its Timothy program this autumn, welcoming the Rev. Michael Weeks to serve as Associate Pastor for Discipleship.

On May 9, the ministry will be partnering with For The Nations, Christ Church Vienna, Shepherd’s Heart Anglican Church, and Church of the Apostles for a mobile bike clinic repairing adult bikes for Afghan Refugees to have transportation for work.
