Plan A Visit Potomac Valley Church
At POVA Church, we welcome you into a friendly, casual environment that encourages community engagement. We invite you to dress comfortably and join us for our worship services, Small Groups, and personal Bible studies to experience the gospel on both an intellectual and relational level every week!
Our services typically begin with a time of singing and praise, followed by a thought-provoking message based on a passage of Scripture. We use a variety of musical styles to appeal to a wide range of people. The message is designed to help you grow in your faith and understanding of God. During the service, there is also an opportunity for you to give tithes and offerings and take communion with us weekly. We have small groups for all life stages, as well as family activities and intermittent worship nights to foster deeper connections.
This page will help you find more details about what to expect when you come to visit. The only thing to do from here is come as you are!
Engaging services (approx. 75 min), fun teaching for your kids, and opportunities to get involved await you. Enjoy coffee and tea while taking the next steps in your faith journey!

Giving at Potomac Valley Church
We believe that giving is at the heart of the Gospel's message. The word of God instructs us that when we give the first fruits to his church with joyful hearts, we prioritize God and place him first in our lives. Additionally, 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 states, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” This emphasizes that giving freely—not out of reluctant duty but from gracious joy—is pleasing to God, and everyone in our church community is encouraged to engage in this practice.
God provides for the ministry of The Potomac Valley Church through your generosity. Your contributions enable us to fund programs and positions that support our vision to embody practical Christianity in our families and communities by wholeheartedly following the teachings of Jesus. Through community engagement and various family activities, we foster an environment that reflects our commitment to faith. We always honor your contributions with full accountability, ensuring the financial integrity of The Potomac Valley Church remains irreproachable, particularly during our worship services.
