Church of Our Saviour

About this church

Church of Our Saviour is a Charlottesville Episcopal parish whose mission is to grow a community in Christ and share Christ’s love with the world. Its welcome spans backgrounds, documentation status, politics, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, and place on the spiritual path. Its roots reach to an 1895 Sunday school; worship, learning, reconciliation, pastoral care, food assistance, youth mission, and refugee support shape parish life.

Three Sunday Eucharists use the Book of Common Prayer. A quiet, music-free Rite I service begins at 8:00 a.m. in the 1906 Rock Chapel. The 9:00 Rite II service is child-friendly, with music, a children’s homily, school-year Church School after Communion, and an adult sermon. A formal Rite II service with adult choir begins at 11:15 and streams on YouTube; handbells also play regularly. All baptized Christians may receive Communion, with gluten-free bread and a separate gluten-free chalice available; anyone may come forward for a blessing. Nursery care runs Sunday 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m., and children gather 10:15–11:00. Middle- and high-school youth meet Wednesday 6:00–7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10:15 from mid-September through late May. Public pages do not specify dress, parking, accessibility, service lengths, nursery ages, child check-in, volunteer screening, or livestream delay.
