Answer: Our founding values are Christ's hospitality - that all people are welcome, wanted and loved here. It is stated in our website, and in everything we do all people (regardless of ability, citizenship, sexual orientation, whatever) it is our intention that everyone who encounters Faith Chapel Gathering Place knows they are welcome, wanted and loved here. We partnered with Craft Theatre Co. in the fall in a fundraiser for Equality Loudoun through their production "Into The Woods" (we were the venue).

Answer: No. We receive in kind donations and grants from PCUSA (very affirming in my experience), Lucketts Ruritans Club (no position), Cowbell Kitchen, Loudoun Hunger Relief, Christ Church (very affirming), the Virts Miller Foundation, Hunters for the Hungry and individual donors.
