The Gayton Kirk - Church Different in Henrico, Virginia
Presbyterian Church USA - Church Different in Henrico VA
You are welcome here.
Our worship style is casual, respectful, and creative.
We are Musicians, Teachers, Lawyers, Administrative Assistants, Students, Nurses, Self-Employed, Actors, Managers, Retired, Dancers… we are your neighbors.
Our name “kirk” means church in Scottish and has prompted us to study and embrace Celtic Spirituality. We celebrate The Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of each month at our 11 AM Service and every Sunday at the 8:30 AM and 5 PM services. We study Scripture so that as we follow Jesus Christ we might become more like him. We baptize infants and adults, knowing that it is not by anything that we do, but by God’s grace that we are called children of God.
Embracing the example of Jesus, our welcome knows no boundaries, and is extended to ALL people.
