A neighborhood church on Arlington Boulevard, 75 years and counting.
We worship on Sunday mornings at 10. During the week, the building fills up: a food pantry, a preschool, a reading program for neighborhood kids, and Spanish-language classes for their parents. In January 2027 our licensed preschool opens downstairs.
Sunday worship at 10 am
In person at 7416 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22042, and on Zoom. We worship in the sanctuary during the school year and in Fellowship Hall in the summer. Knox is a small, friendly congregation in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Stay for coffee after worship at 11.
Knox turns 75
Knox was organized on January 7, 1951, when 42 people signed on as charter members. Sunday school had started a few months earlier in a classroom at Graham Road Elementary. The Fellowship Hall came in 1953 and the sanctuary in 1963.
For 75 years this corner of West Falls Church has been a first stop for people new to Northern Virginia. If that’s true of you, we’d love to welcome you to our neighborhood.
Celebrate with us on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at our 75th anniversary service.
Love your neighborhood
About 1,200 children under 18 live within 500 yards of our front door. So we start with kids. Our hope is to walk with a child from this neighborhood from cradle to college, one relationship and one program at a time.
Knox Preschool opens as a licensed program in January 2027.
Strong Readers, Strong Leaders, an after-school reading program, meets Mondays and Wednesdays.
Wednesday Kids' Club serves dinner and plays games with kids from grade school through high school.
Comunidad, a non-profit partner, offers reading help, teen mentoring, coding bootcamps, and English and computer classes for adults in our building.
Knox Preschool, opening January 2027
“At Knox, we believe that loving our neighbor practically means loving our neighborhood.”
Rev. Casey Thompson, pastor
For several years Knox has run a small preschool downstairs, directed by Kathleen Petrey. This year we renovated the lower level to meet state licensing standards, and in January 2027 the preschool opens with room to grow to 30 or 40 children. Our teachers speak English and Spanish, and we raise scholarship money every year so that any family in the neighborhood can enroll.
