We are a congregation that lives our love of God through service to those in need, whether they live in our neighborhood or on distant shores. Acting on AUMC’s overall mission to Love God, Love Neighbor and Serve the World, we support our local community and the world through service, prayer, financial support and fellowship. Our mission outreach is structured to ensure that everyone, young and old alike, can participate.

Deliver Furniture
Donated furniture and other household items for local families in need is stored in our warehouse next to the Little White Church. The Annandale Christian Community for Action receives requests for furniture through Fairfax County human services staff and specialized agencies, churches, and schools. ACCA churches and community volunteers take turns providing teams of volunteers to collect and deliver the furniture on Saturday mornings. Check the Mission Calendar above for upcoming dates. If you can lend a hand, contact Ted Torsch at torsch@verizon.net. Heavy lifting is required.

Donate Food
On the first Sunday of the month, we collect donations in containers inside the church's main doors for the Annandale Christian Community for Action food pantry. All other Sundays, we collect items for the Mission Center in the white bins in the coat closet at the front of the church; we are currently focusing on 1 pound bags of rice and beans.
