Welcome to McLean Bible Church Arlington
Every Sunday, we gather at 9 am and 11 am as a church family to worship Jesus and spend time in God’s word. We’d love for you to join us!
What to Expect on Sundays
Walking into a new church for the first time can come with a few questions. We want you to feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, so here’s a glimpse of what you can expect at MBC Arlington.
Come As You Are
There’s no dress code here. Whether you’re most comfortable in jeans and sneakers or dressed up for Sunday, you’ll fit right in. Come as you are—we’re just glad you’re here!
Service Flow
Our gathering is approximately 90 minutes long and includes live music, times of prayer, preaching from God’s Word, and communion.
Parking
Parking is available for free during our services in the underground garage located at 1310 N Courthouse Rd. You can park anywhere in the garage that isn’t marked “Reserved”. Use the elevators or stairs in the center of the garage to join us up on the Lower Lobby floor.
Walking
We are located a couple blocks from the Court House Metro. Before the service, you can enter from the large 13th St S doors. If you’re running late, walk into the 1310 N Courthouse Rd parking garage and enter the Lower Lobby floor.
A Warm Welcome
When you arrive, look for our “Are you new here?” stations in the elevator area and in the lobby or stop by our Welcome Area in the lobby. Volunteers will be there ready to greet you and guide you to the gathering space or kids’ area and answer any questions!
Worship and Biblical Teaching
Each Sunday, we gather together to worship God through song, prayer, biblical teaching, and communion. You can expect musical worship that expresses the truth of God’s word, teaching rooted in the Bible, and a gathering that points us towards the abundant life in Jesus.
A Place to Belong
At MBC Arlington, we are a family. We would love to help you find a way to get connected. Join us at the Welcome Area after service. We would love to meet you, answer any questions you may have, and help you find your place in our family.
A Place for Everyone
We cannot wait to welcome your family to MBC Arlington! We know visiting a new church can come with plenty of questions—especially when you are bringing children. Here is what you can expect when your family joins us.
Birth - 5th Grade
Kid’s Quest is a safe, welcoming place where children can discover who God is and how deeply He loves them. From the nursery through fifth grade, we want every child to know and follow Jesus—growing in their relationship with Him, discovering the gifts God has given them, and learning what it means to belong to God’s forever family.
Through age-appropriate Bible teaching, singing, activities, and relationships with caring leaders, children learn that God made them, God loves them, and God wants them to be part of His forever family.

6th - 8th Grade
The Rock is our ministry for middle school students. At MBC Arlington, The Rock meets every other Sunday in its own dedicated space next to Kids Quest. On Sundays when The Rock does not meet, students are encouraged to worship with their families.
Through biblical teaching, small groups, friendships, and opportunities to serve, students are encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus and develop spiritual disciplines such as reading Scripture, praying, worshiping, and serving others. It is our prayer that every student know that they are known by God, that God has created them with purpose, and that they have a place in the life of His church.
Children and students with special needs are welcomed, wanted, and valued at MBC Arlington. We currently use an inclusive ministry model that allows children and students with special needs to participate alongside their peers in Kid’s Quest and The Rock classrooms. Our desire is for every child to experience belonging, build meaningful relationships, and learn about God’s great love for them in a setting where they can thrive.
Because every child is unique, we encourage families to contact us before their first visit. This gives us an opportunity to learn more about your child’s strengths, needs, communication style, and any accommodations that may help them participate successfully.
