Christ Church supports Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD).They respond to storms in the United States and U.S. territories through their U.S. Disaster Program, offering resources and training to help people prepare for disasters and provide emergency support so vulnerable people can make a sustained recovery after the storm. The benefit of this partnership is that ERD is already deeply integrated within these communities. In other words, the Episcopal Church is there before responders arrive and will remain long after the news cameras have gone. You can help provide critical relief to affected communities by donating to the ERD's Hurricane Relief Fund. To donate and read the latest updates, please click below.

Once in a while, once a month, or once a week -- everyone can build relationships and changes lives at George Mason Elementary School
For many years, Christ Church has been in partnership with George Mason Elementary School in historic Church Hill. Richmond Public Schools serve the most distressed portion of our metropolitan city’s school-aged population and GMES, in particular, is in a
troubling state of disrepair.
We are called to help the students of George Mason Elementary School as we are called to
do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God.
"It’s relationships—not programs—that change children."
Will you join us in building relationships with students and families? Some ways you can get involved include:
- Monthly learning experience and breakfast for K-2nd grade families (1 hour/month)
- Classroom assistant (2 hours week)
- Read with 2nd grade students or have them read to you (as you are able)
- Special Projects Helper for Kindergarten registration, Walk to School Day, School Supply support, Book Fair, Teacher Appreciation, and more. (as needed)
