The delegates to the Electing Convention will gather on June 4 to elect the 14th bishop of the Diocese of Virginia. All members of the diocese are invited and encouraged to tune in to the historic event via livestream. The live coverage will be streamed in both Spanish and English (two channels). Attendance in person is only open to voting delegates due to electronic voting procedures and COVID protocols.

In addition, please plan on attending a "Meet and Greet" event with the nominees either in person or online. These events are scheduled May 20-24 in various locations:
Sunday Services are held weekly at 8 and 10:30 am. 

The 10:30 service will continue to be livestreamed on Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube.

A few guidelines:
  • Masks are required to be worn by all.
  • Although registration is not required, sign-in and temperatures will be taken upon arrival to the service.
  • Coffee hour will not resume at this time.
  • Bible study takes place at 9 am, immediately following the 8 am service, and will continue to serve those that call in.
