WELCOME!

​Whether you are visiting or looking for a new spiritual home, we are truly happy to welcome you to the website of Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria, Virginia. We invite you to explore and learn more about our community and our faith. 

We strive to be in a relationship with God and each other as Christ has taught us, to sense and to serve God's plan with great love. We are inspired by Mark 16:15, "Go ye into the world and preach the Gospel."


​We hope browsing this site will inspire a visit to our church.  Immanuel is a Christian congregation in the Episcopal tradition, where ALL God's children are welcome.  (READ MORE HERE).

​A faith-based message on inclusion, equality, and justice for all.
The Christian Faith tells us that all people are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and calls us to love everyone as Jesus loved (John 13:34). ​
We respect the dignity of every human being, and we welcome all regardless of any category of humanity, such as ability, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, creed, political party, etc.

​We strive for a world where diversity, integration, and equality are valued, for an inclusive society that is fair, equitable, and just. We stand up for and support all dispossessed who need our help.
We will rise up in the public square to proclaim the Gospel’s message of love and to take a stand against speech or actions that dehumanize any person or group, strike fear in people’s hearts, or diminish the health and livelihood of people around the world.  We stand boldly against tyranny of speech or action.
