Richmond, VA – Seventh Street Christian Church invites the community to a heartfelt final worship service at its long-standing location of 4101 Grove Avenue on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This special gathering will highlight the church’s rich history, acknowledge its current transformation, and celebrate the many memories created within its beloved walls.

 

Rev. Dr. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will be preaching at the service.As the church reflects on its past, it is essential to honor the foundation laid by the early leaders of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), including Thomas and Alexander Campbell, whose visits inspired the formation of Sycamore Christian Church in the 1830s.

 

The congregation built a dedicated space officially becoming Seventh Street Christian Church on July 14, 1872. Over the years, the church has nurtured generations of faith and community, ultimately relocating to its current site at Malvern & Grove in September 1950 in response to significant growth.In its mission to invest more in the community, Seventh Street Christian Church is currently navigating a significant transition by selling its property and moving worship to a temporary space. This decision allows the church to direct more resources—time, energy, and finances—into enhancing community outreach and stewardship.

 

As we gather to commemorate this significant moment, we invite former ministers, parishioners, friends, and community members to join in this celebration of gratitude. Join us for this momentous occasion as we express our appreciation for the past while looking forward to new opportunities to serve our community.
