The Anglican District of Virginia (ADV), an association of Anglican congregations in Virginia and part of the Convocation of Anglicans in North American (CANA), welcomes Shepherd’s Heart Anglican Church as its newest congregation. Shepherd’s Heart, founded in 1991 in Fairfax, Va., is a parish whose mission is “to walk with the wounded and equip the Saints for ministry.”

Dr. Harold Hammond, rector, says, “Shepherd’s Heart teaches hands-on, one-to-one, personal ministry and sharing of the Gospel, which includes on-the-job training. Congregants are taught how to share their faith in a variety of witnessing situations. Shepherd’s Heart uses ‘Evangelism Explosion’ materials which include classes for adults, teens, and children. Our parish is pleased to be a part of the Anglican District of Virginia as we work together to uphold orthodox Anglicanism.”

“We are overjoyed by ADV’s growing family with the addition of the blessed Shepherd’s Heart Anglican Church,” said Jim Oakes, vice-chairman of ADV. “ADV is eager to share in Shepherd’s Heart’s unique hands-on ministry and outreach.”

Shepherd’s Heart services are held every Sunday at 10:30 am and Wednesday at 12:30 pm ET at 11215 Lee Highway, Suite E in Fairfax, Va. The church website is http://fairfaxshepherdsheart.com/. Shepherd's Heart brings the number of ADV members to 21.
