Go to Church – for your Health?

Grace Anglican Church
Since purchasing a permanent home in White Post, VA and discerning that they have become a regional body of believers, it no longer seemed fitting to be called "Winchester" Anglican Church. So after much prayer, discussion, and input from the entire congregation they have settled on a new name!

An Ordination Journey: The Rev. Jamie Brown
“God, are you saying ‘yes’ to me being a pastor?” This was the question I asked God throughout my 20’s and early 30’s, as I enjoyed stepping into my calling as a worship leader, but as I had a suspicion that God had more in mind for me.
