The Church of the Epiphany is an Anglican church located in Herndon, Virginia. The current church residing at this location belongs to the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic of the Anglican Church in North America.
History
The original church was established in 1985 when Truro Church in Fairfax planned to establish a mission church in Western Fairfax County. Groundbreaking for the church's first building on the corner of Franklin Farm Rd. and Fairfax County Parkway, took place in March 1988, and three years later the parish was established.[1][2]
The congregation voted, with the majority choosing to break from the Episcopal Church in 2006 and affiliate with the Anglican Province of Nigeria and Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA). As the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) was formed, and the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic came into being in 2011, Epiphany became part of the new local diocese. In 2012, The Episcopal Church prevailed in its legal efforts to claim the Franklin Farm building. Epiphany Anglican relocated to 13515 Dulles Technology Drive.[1][3] As of January 2018, Epiphany is moving again to a long-term home at 3863 Centerview Drive in Chantilly. While the move is in progress, the congregation is temporarily worshipping at Greenbriar West Elementary School
