St. Francis Episcopal Church

Share a story

We’re an active and growing congregation at the heart of Potomac Village. Whether you are just curious or are searching for a place to worship and belong, we are delighted you have found us. Saint Francis is a warm and caring community of families and singles, young and old. We have members from all backgrounds and religious traditions. We’re growing in faith and love as we follow Jesus Christ together.  We think you’ll find that our church is easy to visit – Expect several of us to introduce themselves and offer their assistance.  We are welcoming but not pushy, and we do our best to make visitors feel at home here.  We want to offer you the same welcome and friendship that were extended to us when we first came to Saint Francis.

Our services are in-person, livestreamed to YouTube, and Drive-In (periodically).  Visit our website for our current service schedule.

We support the Women's Empowerment program, which provides training in sewing, literacy, and business to women (and the occasional man).  Students are also given lessons in health, nutrition, parenting skills, Christian marriage and business skills in order to better equip them for life.  St. Francis has been providing some financial support for this program for several years.
