The Awakening of Washington's Church

In 1763 George Washington visited The Falls Church and declared its building rotten and unfit for repair. A fine brick colonial church was soon built on the spot. It witnessed key moments of American history but by 1979 the church had become a sleepy place. A young pastor and a renewed focus on Jesus changed that. Within a decade the church was building a new sanctuary to host thousands on its historic property. But the faith that fueled this growth ran into conflict with a mainline denomination. Division and costly litigation ensued. The church lost the priceless land that Washington had once graced. Was it worth the cost? What would happen after such a loss? Washingtons church awakened and not in ways anyone could have predicted.
