Grade schoolers and high schoolers have the opportunity to attend Bible study with other kids their age either before or after worshiping with their families.
Additionally, there are plenty of ways for kids and teens to get involved during the week with choirs, youth group, music lessons, camps and our preschool.
Join us this weekend to hear a new message series "Unhackable". Everyone wants a life-hack but the most important things in life are largely unhackable. Getting the most out of life as God has designed it usually means investing more time and effort in the right things and the right ways. The Bible teaches us how to do exactly that.

Columbia’s Worship, Music & Arts Ministry offers a variety of opportunities for children, youth and adults to develop and use their God-given gifts and abilities.
Education for all ages is a vital part of this ministry as we encourage people to offer their gifts with excellence in praise to Almighty God. Whether through the weekly rehearsal of our adult choir and orchestra, or the spiritual, musical and social training provided in our Youth and Children’s Choirs, we seek to know more of the God we serve and draw others to a closer relationship with Him through Christ.
Columbia is dedicated to assisting in the development of next generation through a church-home partnership that encourages, equips and empowers parents to be the spiritual leaders in their homes. We believe that God created families to be discipleship centers. The family disciplining centers are where parents and grandparents impress the hearts of children/students with a love for God. The family discipleship center purpose, under the equipping and accountability of the local church, is to advance the Gospel and the Great Commission through the power of multi-generational faithfulness.
Columbia has always had a mission component of the church based on Matthew 25:40, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." The purpose of Missions is to impact the world by involving every part of the church from children to seniors and enabling them to use their time and talents to benefit others.
In a practical sense, our mission is lived out by feeding our neighbors in Falls Church, providing food and spiritual support to kids in India and investing in a Haitian village so it can become self-sufficient. Join us!
Participants in Adult Discipleship create long lasting friendships and become part of a faith community they can rely on. This community provides accountability, transparency and a secure place to grow, share and increase in faith as well as knowledge of the Bible.
We know you are more than just your "Sunday Best". At Columbia, we endeavor to provide community and support for you to grow and thrive in all areas of your life. Congregational Care provides support to the congregation through all stages and issues of life.
From marriage and money issues to family emergencies and loss of a loved one, the Columbia community is by your side.
