Welcome to Virginia-Highland Church!
Virginia-Highland Church is different…on purpose…
We are a progressive, welcoming, and diverse congregation that emphasizes community and worship. Members and friends come from various religious backgrounds. Some of us have searched a long time for the sense of belonging we find here…because Virginia Highland Church is different, on purpose.
In other churches, some Christians have felt that they just did not “fit in.” If you do not like feeling pressured to conform to narrow belief systems and conservative political agendas, Virginia-Highland is the place for you. Every week, when we take Communion, we say, “This is not our table but God’s table, and all of us are welcome at God’s table.”

- Virginia-Highland Church welcomes guest preacher Rev. Michael Piazza this Sunday, August 8th, at our 11AM worship service.
Rev. Michael Piazza currently serves as the Co-Director of the Center for Progressive Renewal, Dean of the Cathedral of Hope UCC and President of Hope for Peace & Justice. Rev. Piazza is committed to changing the world by changing the mainline Church. He is convinced that the mainline Church's only hope is to boldly embrace prophetic values like marriage equality, healing the environment, redemptive justice and progressive, and nonviolent theology.
Please join us in giving him the warmest of welcomes through your presence on Sunday morning.

Education:
- The New Testament and Homosexuality
The Thomas Class will be following up its study of "Sexuality and Spirituality" with a book study of Robin Scroggs' classic work, The New Testament and Homosexuality. This book will provide the social and cultural backgrounds for understanding key passages in the New Testament that have often been used in the modern debate over homosexuality. This class meets at 9:30AM Sundays in the downstairs church library. For more information contact Rich Wall at rich.wall@att.net.
- Faith of our Neighbors: Islam
Beginning August 8, the Beacon class will resume meeting and continue its study of the faith of our neighbors with a series on Islam. The series will include comparisons between Islam and Christianity, multimedia presentations on the history and characteristics of Islam, and examination of Islam in its socio-political context and how we can approach such issues from a progressive Christian perspective. We will also be attending several events at the Carlos Museum as they focus their special exhibition and educational efforts on Islam this fall. This class meets at 9:30AM Sundays in the Beacon Classroom. For more information contact Anna Hall at anica_74@yahoo.com.
