Heritage Fellowship Church began in Reston in 1978 as Christian Community Fellowship Church (CCFC).  In 1984, the congregation affiliated with the United Church of Christ, a relationship that lasted through 2005. Since then, the church has been called simply Heritage Fellowship Church. 

The church now has members from Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Prince William Counties and has experienced steady growth under the leadership of its senior pastor, Norman A. Tate.
