A Letter from Bishop Chris
Mission is not an optional ministry for a select few; it is at the heart of the Church’s identity. A flourishing parish is not only a place where people gather for worship, but a community intentionally sent into the world to bear witness to Jesus Christ in word and deed.
Does Closing Mean Revitalization Failed?
Mid-2023, my husband and I accepted the call to shepherd these dear saints. Financial resources were projected to last one year. We would either witness the Lord grow this church, or we would chaplain it through closing.
We never imagined experiencing both.

A Story of Provision 🌱
The new church quickly responded and confirmed the request. St. Andrew’s first service in our new space, a space the Lord supplied, was on April 19 (4/19!) just as we had been praying for the past year! Additionally, 108 people showed up that would not have fit into the previous building.
A Letter from Bishop Chris
In a world that is marked by endings (by loss, uncertainty, breakups, and death's looming shadow) the resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as God’s decisive answer. Not a whisper, but a proclamation: yes to life, yes to hope, yes to a future beyond the grave.

In the Image of God
Often the church views someone with a disability as a person to minister to, rather than a person who brings their Spirit-given gifts to build up the body of Christ, the Church. At this virtual Imago Dei event you are invited to get to know some people with different disabilities who serve in various capacities in their church. They overcome challenges and their church family may make accommodations to support their service. The body of Christ is built up and God’s name glorified.
Many Gifts, One Mission
Each contribution helped create a sanctuary of welcome and hope for the unhoused women of Charlottesville. Each part functioning in its own capacity as an indispensable part of the body of Christ.
