Lamb Center

The Lamb Center is a daytime drop-in for the poor and the poor in spirit in Fairfax Virginia, supported by a partnership of local congregations. It is a sanctuary where the poor and the homeless are met by mature Christians whose desire is to love and serve them and share mutual brokenness.

CTS has several connections with the Lamb Center. One of our members serves as the Director. From time to time, we invite guests of the Lamb Center to visit, worship with us and share their stories. Our youth group makes an annual visit to do laundry, prepare meals and share relationships with the guests.
