We acknowledge that we can do more.

TFC has a long history of partnering with organizations that either directly or indirectly address racial inequality within our local region. We have either current or past relationships with:

• Tinner Hill Heritage Society

• Homestretch

• Bailey’s Crossroads Shelter

• Arlington Food Assistance Center

• The Social Justice Committee of Falls Church

• Offender Aid and Restoration

• The Lazarus Center

TFCE also hosts and/or sponsors a number of events with our partnering organizations throughout the year including Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation events, The Martin Luther King day community festival, and providing hospitality for the Rally for Black Lives at Cherry Hill Park in June 2020. The church is currently participating in the bimonthly Silent Witness against Racial Justice events along Broad Street with the Falls Church Presbyterian.

TFCE sponsors educational opportunities throughout the year including topics devoted exclusively to racial justice during adult formation as well as parishioner led book groups. The enslaved workers plaque on the church property was installed in 2017 to commemorate those enslaved people who built the Falls Church Episcopal. The archives ministry within TFCE is currently working with the Falls Church vice mayor’s office to help re-write a more inclusive telling of the history of the city of Falls Church.

In October 2024 The Racial Justice Ministry, under the leadership of Jan Cornelius, Amy Marshak, and Jennifer Stacks, released a report on The Falls Church’s Ties to Slavery.
