Kingstowne Community Church
5775 Barclay Drive,
Kingstowne, VA 22315

Services:
Sunday- 9:00 am – Traditional Communion Service (featuring piano, flute and guitar)
11:00 am - House of Spirit Band

Service I attended: Sunday, 11:00, am

Congregation: Mixed ages/races, Caucasian/Hispanic/Black, families, young adults, 30+, middle-aged

Overall Church: Meets in an office park complex near Kingstowne Center. Off-street parking. Small, really nice, diverse congregation. They describe themselves as “…a user friendly church for those who have not found a home in more traditional churches.” I was very comfortable, and I think church newbies would be, too. The songs were easy to learn praise and worship style.

Band set-up: Bass, drums, electric and acoustic guitars, keys,trumpet.

Overall band: Wow! Fabulous musicianship. Professional and studio musicians – perhaps some volunteers as well (I wasn’t real clear on that - inquiring minds should ask.) Some of these guys are top-notch studio musicians - they are the best. Low-key and not showy, but GREAT music. Nice vocals. I chatted with one of the guitarists at the end, he let me play his Frankencaster (Danny Gatton-made, unbelievably-superb-pick-ups guitar.) Dang! Now I’m struggling with the sin of desire…

Would I go back? Yes. Good preaching, friendly and diverse congregation, non-showy fab musicians – I’m there!
