Job Description Introduction to Pohick: “The Mother Church of Northern Virginia,” Pohick was the first permanent church in the colony established north of the Occoquan River, around 1724. Originally called “the Occoquan Church,” it was soon referred to as “Pohick Church” because of its proximity to Pohick Creek. (“Pohick” is a Native American word for “hickory tree.”) Pohick is the home church of several American patriots, including the Washington, Mason and Fairfax families. George Washington’s father Augustine was an early vestry member, and George followed in his footsteps. Washington was formed at Pohick and as an adult, helped design and build our current church completed in 1774.
