Thank you so much for being part of and supporting the Clarendon Presbyterian Church! We are so grateful for your support as members, friends, and community supporters.  This document is our annual report from 2024.  We are a More Light LGBTQIA+ celebrating PCUSA church in Arlington, VA.  We are proud of our mission statement and seek to live into the call towards being a welcoming and inclusive church community.  

Our mission statement: Following the Spirit’s call to go into the world with love, joy and creativity, we are a community of faith following the ways of Jesus Christ in solidarity with marginalized and disenfranchised people doing justice loving mercy, and walking humbly with God. We seek companions on the journey from all** walks of life. ** All means all: All races, ages, genders, orientations, classes, convictions, and questions. 

Each Sunday we read this Land and Labor Acknowledgement adopted by the Session in 2021. In 2023, we also created a line item of $500 to support indigenous people’s.  For 2024, our contribution went to  Through Piscataway Eyes.  A land acknowledgment names the traditional Native inhabitants of the land you are in, in order to offer recognition and respect; to cultivate a deeper awareness of the history that has led to the present moment; and to create an opportunity for reflection on our responsibilities as descendants of that history. We acknowledge that we live and worship on the Native lands of the Piscataway, Nacotchtank, and Pamunkey peoples, among others, and we pay our respects to elders past and present, known and unknown. We also recognize that many inequities of money and power in the place we know as Arlington are based on past and present racial injustice, including the stolen labor of people of African descent.
