A Resurgent Downtown

New residents, performing arts centers, hotels, corporate headquarters, research facilities, restaurants and entertainment venues are transforming downtown Richmond.

Much of the development is happening within 10 blocks of us. . . .

The City's downtown "Master Plan" is now open for public comment.  It focuses on preserving our urban architecture and our River.  

Just across the street from St. Paul's, we have observed the massive renovations to the State Capitol, designed by Thomas Jefferson, and the construction of the new federal courts building.

As an active Church, just a few blocks from the James River, we enjoy extending hospitality to marathon runners, symphony goers, Folk Festival enthusiasts, cyclists, history buffs, kayakers and government and business workers looking for a lunchtime lift or a moment of silence.


We pray for insight into how St. Paul's is to
"proclaim Christ" in the heart of this changing City
