• Restored canal and riverside walk
• Virginia State Capitol, Library and Governor’s Mansion
• City Hall
• State Supreme Court
• 3,000 new loft apartments and condominiums
• Federal District Court

In addition to being a source of strength and a place for Sunday worship for people throughout the Richmond community, we are also a Monday through Friday resource for those who live and work and play in our neighborhood. Consider St. Paul’s your base camp for all that you do downtown. Our mission is to provide support, nourishment, strength, and refuge on weekends and throughout the week. Come be a part of our uniquely downtown experience. We invite your suggestions as to how we can better be your Monday-Friday base camp.

Some of our popular “base camp” programs are:

• 12:05 Eucharist, Monday-Friday 
• “Eyes on Richmond” each fall, featuring significant state and local speakers during lunch
• Noonday Lenten services 
• Jazz lunches in spring
• Parking at St. Paul’s
