The Triumphant Church was founded by Pastors Cameron and Anna Simmons in April of 1981. Known then as the Rhema Faith Center Church, it was located in Tysons Corner, VA, and established as a non-denominational church attracting members from the greater Washington, DC, metropolitan area.

Pastor "Cam" and Anna endowed the church with an understanding of the simplicity of being a Christian---studying the Word of God and then obeying it. Over the years the church was blessed through hosting many now well-known national and international ministries who found the Rhema Faith Center to be a welcome place. The church was the charter member of the Christian Mens Network birthed by the late Dr. Edwin Louis Cole.

In 1994, the leadership was passed on to LeRoy and Rita Thompson, the current Senior Pastors, and the church relocated to the Springfield, VA, area. While the main emphasis continues to be the preaching, teaching, and modeling of the Word of God, the Triumphant Church has expanded its focus on outreach, evangelism, and missions. It has also concentrated on its vision of "every member is a minister," and will continue to raise up ordained pastors, evangelists, and other ministry gifts.

The Triumphant Church has always enjoyed a rich diversity of ethnic and geographic membership with families coming from Arlington, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Springfield, Mount Vernon, VA, various Maryland counties, and Washington, DC. Ultimately the church itself will expand geographically as well, developing new congregations in Washington, DC, Prince George's County, MD, and Fredericksburg, VA.
