How To Find Us?
Worship on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Our address is 4201 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203.
We are at the corner of Fairfax Drive and Stafford Street.
As you drive west on Fairfax Drive after you cross Stafford Street you will turn right onto the
driveway located between the CUMC/Unity Homes building and the First Down Sports Bar.
If you are coming from Rt. 66 you will be driving east on Fairfax Drive. It is not legal to make a U-
turn at Fairfax Drive and Stafford Street, and there is no way to turn left into our driveway.
So, the easiest route is to turn left onto Glebe Road; turn right onto 11th Street; turn right onto Stafford Street; turn right onto Fairfax Drive and then turn right onto the driveway located between the CUMC/Unity Homes building and the First Down Sports Bar.
There is an entrance to the underground garage on the right side of this driveway. If the garage
entrance is not already open please ring the intercom button for the church which will enable us to open the garage for you.
Park in any spot marked for the church (don’t worry about needing a permit on Sundays) and
follow the signs to the church elevator.
The maps on the next page will help you visualize the layout of our property.

NAVIGATING OUR SPACE
We are so excited to be able to welcome you to our newly opened church space located at 4201 Fairfax Drive, Suite
We are still putting the final touches on our signage and will do our best to provide the information you need in order to navigate to our space when you visit.
If you are arriving via metro train or metro bus please go to the Ballston-MU. This will put you directly across the street from the church entrance. Please cross at the corner of Fairfax Drive and North Stafford Street. The door immediately in front of you will be open on Sunday mornings to enter for worship. If you are seeking to enter the church at other times please keep walking straight ahead on North Stafford Street and use the doors just after the black fence. If the doors are locked please ring the doorbell at these doors.
If you are driving there are a few options for parking.
To enter the parking garage you will need to drive west on Fairfax Drive so that you can turn right onto our driveway just past the residential entrance of the building. You will see spaces reserved for church and school permit parking here. To avoid towing please only park here if you have a church permit. Just past these spaces is the entry to our parking garage. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp and you will see our Sunday church guest spaces straight ahead. To enter the building from the garage we have an elevator at the end of the parking aisle. This elevator will take you to the church’s first floor. Turn left to navigate to the sanctuary.
After April 1, 2024:
1. Fairfax Drive Metered Spaces. On Sundays the streetparking along Fairfax Drive is free. During the week these spaces require payment using a meter on the street or the park mobile app. Please read the applicable street signs to avoid a ticket.
2. There are multiple parking garages nearby. Please visit this site to find your preferred garage.
3. Parking in our garage. Our parking garage has visitor parking available only on Sunday mornings. To enter the parking garage you will need to drive west on Fairfax Drive so that you can turn right onto our driveway just past the residential entrance of the building. You will see spaces reserved for church and school permit parking here (on Sundays a permit is not required). Just past these spaces is the entry to our parking garage. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp and you will see our church spaces straight ahead. To enter the building from the garage we have an elevator at the end of the parking aisle. This elevator will take you to the church’s first floor. Turn left to navigate to the sanctuary.
