New to Burke Community Church? We want to make your first visit as easy as possible. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

Visiting for the First Time

What denomination is Burke Community Church?
Burke Community Church is a nondenominational Christian church. We’re not affiliated with a specific denomination — our focus is on Scripture, the person of Jesus Christ, and equipping people to know and follow Him. If you want to dig deeper into what we believe, visit our Beliefs page.

What time are Sunday services?
We have two identical Sunday morning services: 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM. Come to whichever fits your schedule — the message, worship, and kids programs are the same at both. Services are also livestreamed online.

How long is a service?
Services run approximately 65–70 minutes.

What should I wear?
Come as you are — seriously. You’ll see jeans and t-shirts alongside business casual. There’s no dress code at Burke Community Church. What matters is that you’re here.

Where do I park?
We’re located at 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA 22015 — at the corner of the Fairfax County Parkway (Route 286) and Old Keene Mill Road. Guest parking is directly in front of the main building. Because we have over 2,000 people on campus each Sunday, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early. When the main lot fills up, cars are directed to an overflow lot at Cherry Run Elementary — about 4 minutes away with a free shuttle.

Where do I go when I arrive?
Come in through the main entrance and you’ll find our Welcome Center on your right. Stop by for a free welcome gift and to ask any questions. The Worship Center is to the left. If you have kids, Kids Check-In is clearly marked just inside the lobby.

Kids & Students

Is there childcare or a kids program on Sundays?
Yes! We have age-appropriate ministry for every child from birth through 6th grade during both services. Kids check in at the Kids Check-In station in the main lobby. First-time families can also pre-register online to make check-in faster.

What about middle and high school students?
We have dedicated ministries for middle schoolers (The Well) and high schoolers (The Mix). Both meet on campus Sundays and have their own weekly events throughout the week.

Is there a 5th and 6th grade program?
Yes — Ignite is specifically for 5th and 6th graders, bridging kids ministry and student ministry.

Do you have VBS?
Yes! We host Vacation Bible School each summer for kids Kindergarten through 4th grade. Check our VBS page for this year’s dates and registration.

Getting Connected

How do I meet people and find a community?
The best starting point is our Discover Series — a set of short classes designed to help you take your next step. There are three:

• Discover Jesus — exploring faith and what it means to follow Christ
• Discover Community — finding your place in a small group
• Discover Membership — learning what Burke Community Church is about and how to get involved

Do you have small groups?
Yes — we call them Life Groups and they meet throughout the week in homes and on campus across Burke, Springfield, and the surrounding area. Find a Life Group that fits your schedule and stage of life.

What events do you offer during the week?
Quite a bit — from Life Groups and Bible studies to student ministry nights, women’s gatherings, men’s events, and more. The best way to stay current is through our weekly email bulletin, the church app, and the events page on our website. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected.

Online & Streaming

Can I watch services online?
Absolutely. Services are livestreamed at both 9AM and 10:45AM every Sunday at burkecommunity.online.church and on our YouTube channel. Online hosts are available to pray with you and answer questions in real time.

Are past sermons available?
Yes — our full sermon archive is available at burkecommunity.com/sermons and as a podcast on Spotify and other platforms.

Ministries & Support

Do you offer counseling?
Yes. Burke Community Church operates a professional Christian Counseling Center serving individuals, couples, and families. Our licensed counselors offer care rooted in faith. Learn more at burkecommunity.com/counseling.

Does you have a ministry for people with special needs?
