STSA Church had been meeting at rented facility for many years prior to purchasing their current property in Arlington. With a vision for bringing an ancient faith to a modern world, STSA uniquely holds two services; one with traditional liturgy and another with contemporary worship style and message. Between these services is a time for breaking fast and fellowship. The architecture reflects and enhances this practice with two rooms for differing worship styles and an interstitial large, light-filled foyer. Further, the parking areas on the ground level are the monolithic, solid foundation representing the ancient practices while the modernist church exterior is an expression of the current era. Icons and interior finishes of the sanctuary were designed by Line Architects in Egypt.
