The mission of the 11 million member United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The congregation here at Braddock Street United Methodist Church embraces this charge through extensive worship, youth, music, education and outreach programs. We support missionary work in our community, across the United States, and around the world.
With approximately 1,500 members, Braddock Street is one of the ten largest churches in the Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church and the largest in the Winchester District. The congregation was founded as part of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in 1958. The first church building was begun on this site in that same year. Our current sanctuary was completed in 1975 and the Education Building in 1994.
