The Awakening of Washington's Church (Second Edition)

<p><strong><em>How a church lost everything and gained what matters most.</em></strong><br /><br><br /><br>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.<br /><br><br /><br>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?<br /><br><br /><br>Washington's church awakened and not in ways anyone could have predicted.</p>
