Welcome to Ruah International Ministry! We are a Spirit-led, family-oriented, and multicultural church in Lorton, VA. Our mission is simple — to make disciples of all nations and teach them to follow Jesus (Matthew 28:18–20).
Join us this week to experience passionate worship, powerful teaching, and a loving community where lives are transformed by the presence of God.
Ruah International Ministry is more than a Sunday gathering — it’s a family. Here you’ll find people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds coming together with one heart: to follow where the Spirit leads. We believe in the power of prayer, the truth of God’s Word, and the strength of community.
From weekly Bible studies to Spirit-filled worship nights, every moment at Ruah is designed to help you grow deeper in your relationship with Christ and discover the purpose He’s placed inside you.
Families are at the heart of Ruah. Whether you’re single, married, raising kids, or a grandparent, we offer a place where you can grow in faith together. Our services, Bible studies, and community nights are designed to strengthen relationships with God and with each other.
We are a beautiful, multicultural church where people from all nations and backgrounds come together as one family. At Ruah, everyone is welcome — no matter your story, culture, or background — because we believe Heaven looks like unity.

Our children’s ministry helps kids grow in their faith in a fun, safe, and Spirit-filled environment. From nursery to elementary, we teach kids the Word of God and help them experience His presence at their level.
