history of our church

Pastor Jerry & Hanna Alway have been pastoring Bridgeview Christian Church since 1999. Prior to pastoring in Northern Virginia, they were missionaries for 11 years in Guatemala City, where they directed an orphanage for some of the most needy children and worked among the poor. Besides pastoring, God has used them to raise up America, Pray Now (APN), a prayer ministry that has monthly prayer meetings in cities around Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware. APN continues to grow, with many denominations coming together to pray for the Body of Christ and our nation.

elements of worship

We sing songs, hymns, and spiritual songs (the Song of the Lord) because... Ephesians 5:19 “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,”

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
