Rev. Tony Arnold is a church planter in the Virginia Annual Conference of the UMC. Serving at Christ Church in Fairfax Station since 2017, he has launched an online campus and explored new forms of discipleship in that context.

In addition to making disciples, he has a passion for hiking, sailing, writing, sharing stories, and spending time with his wife, Theresa.
