Welcome

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your faith journey, we’re glad you’re here.

Welcome to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. We are a historic, multigenerational, LGBTQ+ affirming congregation. We are committed to being a spiritual center in downtown Richmond, providing community and creative worship as we follow a justice-seeking Christ.


Our 5 Commitments

Justice

St. Paul’s is committed to naming and dismantling systemic racism. We foster community healing and support the work of reparative action through local, regional, and international dialogue and action.

Being a Spiritual Center for Downtown

St. Paul’s extends a generous, affirming, and inclusive welcome. We are a place for serving, partnering, gathering, learning, growing, and worshiping.

Progressive Christian Thinking

St. Paul’s embraces our commitment to nurture a curiosity of spirit and mind. We are a spiritual space in which a diversity of people and perspectives are supported and shaped.

Transformative and Relevant Worship

St. Paul’s offers worship and liturgical experiences that are beautiful, thoughtful, grounded in the Episcopal tradition, and reflective of a God who is speaking into current conversations and contexts.

Embracing and Caring for All Ages

St. Paul’s builds a multi-generational community. We engage and support people through all of life’s journeys and transitions.
