Our Story
The Early Years
Holy Cross began with prayer and a dream for a new church for Crozet that would be rooted in the good news of Jesus Christ, guided by practices and beliefs of historic Christian faith, and committed to the good of our neighbors.
In 2017, a small group of men and women from the area began gathering in a living room for worship and a shared meal to pursue this vision of a new church.
With growing interest and momentum, we soon outgrew the living room and moved our Sunday service to the Barn at Fidelis Farm.
2020-2023
Adequate space continued to be a complication, but the newly-constructed event space at Pro Re Nata Brewery emerged as the best opportunity for Sunday morning services in Crozet.
After three years at Pro Re Nata, Holy Cross moved a mile down the road to Brownsville Elementary to better accommodate our youngest worshipers and save for a building.
2023-Present
Holy Cross welcomes a growing number of families, empty-nesters, newly-marrieds, and singles of all ages and different backgrounds from Crozet and the surrounding area.
Though we have been a “tabernacle church,” portable and nimble, we have prioritized the beauty of Anglican worship according to the Book of Common Prayer. We have become a home for spiritual seekers from a variety of backgrounds searching for deep roots in a rootless age. In this next season, as we seek to put down our own roots in western Albemarle County, we will be launching a capital campaign to secure land and build a building.
