Community Engagement

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

-Micah 6:8

History & Reconciliation Initiative (HRI)

After the horrific shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina and the resolution of the Episcopal Church regarding the Confederate Battle Flag in June of 2015, St. Paul’s set aside two Sunday afternoons in August of 2015 for prayerful conversations about the historic Confederate imagery and symbols in the church. From these prayerful conversations came the History & Reconciliation Initiative, a commitment to understand the past role of race, slavery, and segregation in the history of our church and city.

Emmaus

Emmaus is our lunch ministry, which takes place on Thursdays. In the spirit of “welcoming the stranger,” we serve approximately 150 guests each week.

Micah

The Micah Initiative provides support and mentoring to the Woodville school family community. Volunteers help support the student/school by mentoring, becoming classroom assistance and running small groups such as book clubs and chess clubs.

Global Missions

The Global Missions ministry is centered in a rich, multi-faceted and evolving relationship with the village of Mwitikira, Tanzania. The initial focus of the ministry was on children in Sub-Saharan Africa, but that focus has expanded to many other projects based on the needs expressed by the people of Mwitikira and their priest, Father Erasto Ndahani.

Amos – RISC

St. Paul’s Amos Ministry, which is focused on social justice in our community, has been active in areas such as advocating for advances in public transportation through RVA Rapid Transit and working to prevent gun violence.

Circles RVA

St. Paul’s is partnering with several Richmond faith communities to implement Circles’ innovative relationship-based volunteer model, which is being used in over 70 communities nationwide.
