What We Believe
It is entirely beyond us and above us. We are simply meant to look at it with wonder, with awe and with worship, and be amazed by it.

Our Foundations
-
In the summer of 2017, Matt Felton and his family moved from Oklahoma to Virginia to begin an exciting journey: planting a church outside Washington D.C. Later that summer, Matt was joined by David Chung, and together with the Watson family, they started to pray and plan how and where God could use them to start a local church in the area.
As the months of prayerful preparation went by, they began hosting interest meetings and Bible studies in and around Ashburn, Virginia.
In June 2018, trusting and sharing in God's word and His gospel, thirty-nine members came together in covenant to celebrate the Lord's Supper with a shared vision of planting a church in Loudoun County: Trinity Church of Loudoun.
In the name of our church, we hoped to capture something significant about our intentions: namely, our continuity with Christians and churches across the ages. The Trinity was one of the earliest and most precious doctrines that the Church defined and defended from the Bible, and it became a key indicator of orthodoxy.
Who confessed the Trinity? Christians did, and eventually, Christians of various denominations. Trinity Church of Loudoun is a new church, but, in far more important ways, there is nothing new about us at all. We hope to confess and gather under truths that have been believed and adored for thousands of years.
We celebrate our continuity with ancient churches & doctrines as we faithfully confess this time-honored truth: The Trinity.

The Statement of Faith contains a summary of our doctrinal beliefs, and therefore, what we will teach. Trinity of Loudoun affirms the 1853 New Hampshire Confession of Faith.
-
The Church Covenant expresses how we will endeavor to live, in light of our beliefs, as a church family.

The Constitution and Bylaws outline procedures by which we function as we seek to glorify God and encourage one another as a church community.
Membership
The Bible teaches that being a part of a church serves a greater purpose than simply attending a worship service — being a member of a church is a commitment to watch over and care for other members and be watched over and cared for by other members.
