Brunch & Fellowship at Reston Bible Church

Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for a very special celebration service on Saturday, May 17, 2025, to commemorate 50 years of God’s faithfulness to Reston Bible Church.

It all began with a simple phone call and a step into the unknown. In the spring of 1974, a businessman contacted Florida Bible College, hoping to attract a graduate to Northern Virginia to plant a Bible-believing church near his family in Reston. Weeks later, newlyweds Mike and Kay Minter left Florida for Reston, and in March of 1975, Reston Bible Church held its very first worship service in the Reston Sheraton Hotel. Who could guess what God would do in the years to come?

Now, as we approach 50 years of knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known, Reston Bible Church stands as a testimony to God’s enduring faithfulness, and we want to celebrate His goodness with you! After five decades of ministry, the Lord has woven thousands of people into the fabric and history of RBC. Whether you attended for a year or for decades, whether you simply showed up on Sundays or you poured your life into the ministries of this church, whether your time with us was sweet, bitter, or somewhere in between, your participation, your service, your giving, your presence and your time with us mattered—and still matters, because it is part of 50 years of kingdom work that God has done and continues to do here at RBC.

Please join us for a special commemorative service from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 17, 2025. So that as many people as possible can celebrate together at a single service, our Jubilee Celebration will be hosted by Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg and will be followed by an onsite picnic lunch including food trucks and local food vendors in the Cornerstone parking lot. We are thrilled to welcome Mike Minter, founder and teaching pastor emeritus as our keynote speaker for the weekend.

I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember Your wonders of old. I will ponder all Your work, and meditate on Your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy. What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your might among the peoples. Psalm 77:11-14
