Most people long to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Most people also want to help transform the world and make a difference in the lives of those around them. Here at Dranesville Church we believe it is important to get on board with what God is doing. That means we must be a church willing to go out beyond the walls of the church “building” and be the church with our hands and voices. We must be willing to go out and meet our neighbors where they are and pour the love of God that is within us into the lives of those around us.
When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he said these words: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, ON Earth, as it is in Heaven.” Every day Dranesville Church strives to live up to that high vision. That we can be a church willing to paint a picture of God that is bigger than the picture that has been painted in generations past. Below are some of the mission ministries of Dranesville Church. It is through these ministries that we strive to be the hands and voice of Jesus Christ in a world that so desperately wants to be loved.

The Closet of Herndon—Dranesville Church has built an ongoing relationship with The Closet through the volunteering of our time. The Closet, located in downtown Herndon, is a thrift shop and serves as a source of low-cost clothing and household necessities for those on a tight budget.
