Who we are
The Church of Our Saviour was started as a mission by the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, as they looked to expand into the rural areas of Chesterfield County. They enlisted the assistance of the Reverend William Gerow Christian, who was known to Episcopalians in the area, born and raised in Powhatan. On September 1, 1966 the first service was held in the home of Dorothy Charles. She later donated the land on which the church now resides.
The existing Sanctuary was built by hand, by members of the congregation. The first service was held on Palm Sunday, April 7, 1968. From a living room Sunday service to a mobile home, and then to the buildings which now exist, the Church of Our Saviour was born. We refer to ourselves as a family. We started as a close knit community and remain so today. You automatically become a part of us when you walk through our doors.
To get a real feel for Church of Our Saviour - our worship, our fellowship, and our "All Are Welcome" community, we invite you to step through our doors on a Sunday morning and share in Holy Eucharist with us at 10:00am. It will feel like home very quickly.

Open our ears to hear
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
