Ground Zero Church

About this church

Ground Zero Church in Charlottesville gathers for Sunday worship at 10 a.m. at Jackson-Via Elementary School on Harris Road, with a second gathering at 12:30 p.m. at Crescent Halls in downtown Charlottesville. A typical service runs about 65 minutes, with a mix of contemporary and traditional music led by a worship team, and a fellowship meal usually follows. The morning service meets the first four Sundays of each month and takes the fifth Sunday off, so confirm the schedule before visiting. The congregation describes itself as the church that runs in, with a focus on reaching people who are poor, addicted, afflicted, or imprisoned. An online service is also posted on Facebook at 10 a.m.

Children and teens from pre-K through twelfth grade have programs during the 10 a.m. service. Families start together in the sanctuary for worship, then youth are dismissed to age-appropriate gatherings, and childcare is available. The youth group meets on the first and third Sundays of the month at the school. Child and youth programs are not offered at the Crescent Halls service. The school entrance can be hard to find, so signs lead visitors to a loading-dock door, and doors are locked once the service begins. Latecomers can call or text the number posted on the sign. The church also offers a mobile app for sermons and events, baptism sign-ups, and volunteer opportunities.
