The Rev. Chris Lugo brings over 20 years of ministry experience to our church. Over the course of his career, he has served in a variety of pastoral roles and is now here as our Senior Pastor.  He has a deep passion for helping people truly encounter Jesus and grow in faith and he brings a creative and relational approach to ministry.

Outside of ministry, Chris is a creative individual with a love for music, movies, and books. He is a talented musician and plays several instruments. He loves a compelling story, whether told through movies or books, and has quite the book collection! Chris places a strong emphasis on staying curious so that he can continue to learn and grow.

Chris and his wife have called Arlington home for over 14  years and they are raising their children here, as well. Little Falls is a community that Chris holds close to his heart and he is excited to help our church grow and flourish!

​WORSHIP and MUSIC
​Todd Robinson

​I'm honored to be the Director of Worship, Music and Children's Ministries here at Little Falls for over 12 years.

I have a deep passion for creating inspired, welcoming and meaningful worship services through music, liturgy and programming. And creating a fun and Jesus centered environment for our kiddos!

​I am a native of Montrose, PA. I grew up in a loving family that shaped and molded me into who I am today! My hometown church, First Presbyterian Church of Montrose, was full of life, love, music and Christ. That nurturing church is when and where Christ came into my heart. From an early age I knew that I had a gift for music and in the church is where I got my start. God had me right where He wanted me and continues to mold me into who I am today.

I live in Catharpin, VA which is very close to the Manassas Battlefields with my wonderful wife, son (in college) and crazy cat! I love to write and record music in my home studio!

YOUTH & FAMILY MINISTRY DIRECTOR, CHILDREN'S CHURCH INSTRUCTOR
​Tina Barnes

​I was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe. My father was a farmer, and my mother is a retired women and children’s right lawyer.

I was raised in a big immediate family with six sisters, and my parents opened our home to an even bigger extended family, including neighbors and strangers who became family. Our house was the place everyone was always safe and welcome. My parents nurtured compassion, love and commitment to service and community, that I would carry with me 7000 miles away when I moved to  the USA in 2006.

I live in Bethesda Maryland, and have undergrad degree in English with a focus on British Literature from U of MD, (go Terps!). I have worked with children my entire professional life, as a career nanny and now sharing my love of God with the amazing children at Little Falls Presbyterian Church. I was brought up Episcopalian, and met several of the friends I still hold dear today at Sunday school! My faith has literally carried me across oceans.  I hope to help grow the children’s ministry and make it a place where our young people can grow their relationships with God, and each other.  

OFFICE MANAGER
Casey Waggy

​I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and grew up with amazing parents and a fantastic brother. I earned a degree in Zoology from Colorado State University, where I also met my husband and grew in my faith. 

My husband serves in the Army, and together we’ve lived all over this incredible country. I’ve had the opportunity to work as a zookeeper at a few of our stops, but stepped away from zookeeping to focus on raising our three wonderful children.

​Today, I’m grateful to serve as the Office Manager at Little Falls Presbyterian Church. I love helping things run smoothly behind the scenes and being part of a community grounded in connection, purpose, and faith.
