Rector's Notes

Our Thanksgiving Eve service (Holy Eucharist, Rite I) on Wednesday, November 24 at 7:00 p.m. Come and give thanks.

Advent begins this coming Sunday, and we will celebrate the coming of the season by making Advent wreaths at 9:30 a.m. Inquirers’ Class will also meet to finish our sessions before the Bishop Powell’s forthcoming visit, on December 5th. As a reminder, only one service on December 5th at 9:30 a.m., and after the Bishop's Reception we will hold the Annual Meeting.

Church Building Restoration

Did you notice the scaffolding around the church? We are undergoing an historic restoration of our 1870s-vintage church building. To learn more please go to the Restoration Page.

Words of Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website. As you will discover both on this site and in person, Christ Church is a congregation rich with people, worship, and a variety of ministries.
We worship as a community every Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. with the celebrations of Holy Eucharist. Everyone is welcome.
We worship at other times too, offering quarterly Evensong. Music is an integral part of our worship, as is the participation of the congregation.
Being one of only two churches still worshiping in original buildings in the Sixteen Squares that comprise historic downtown Blacksburg, Christ Church exists to serve God and people in our world with deep roots to our Anglican tradition and past, to embodying Christ's love in the present, and always striving to become more and more the people of God as the future unfolds.
We have a deep commitment to minister in the name of Christ to those in need, to those seeking God's presence in their lives, to the students, faculty, and administration at Virginia Tech, and to those who live out their Christian faith as Episcopalians.
If you find yourself pondering some of life's bigger questions, or perhaps you're looking for a place where you can engage your mind, heart, and soul while seeking a relationship with God and others, Christ Church invites you and welcomes you to become a part of this portion of the Body of Christ.
The Rev. Scott A. West, Rector
