Korean Central Presbyterian Church

 church, presbyterian church

This is the site of the massive Korean Central Presbyterian Church, the largest Korean-American Church in the metropolitan DC area and equally one of the biggest found in the entire United States. The church, which is a member of the more conservative & evangelical branch of Protestant Christianity, is home to a congregation of over 4,500 members. Originally located in Vienna, VA, the increasingly growing church negatively caught the attention of many of its neighbours, who loudly complained of the growing traffic & other problems impacted by the church to local officials. As a result, its members decided to relocate to Centreville, VA.

The sprawling complex is crowned by an imposing, modern 173,000 sq-ft structure, which was designed by Hughes Group architects and built at an estimated cost of over $40 million in 2007. It houses on the interior, a religious school, two sanctuaries that seat over 2,100 members, and a food court with a feeding capacity of 1,200 persons on any given Sunday afternoon. It is estimated by local county officials that over 1,000 new residents will move into the surrounding area & that traffic on nearby roads will dramatically increase within 5 years as a result of the church's opening.

The church is currently led by the Rev. Chang Soo Ro.
