Assessment
Church Hill Presbyterian is a PCA church plant located in Richmond's historic Church Hill neighborhood — one of the oldest and most storied communities in the city, full of working-class families and a significant African-American population. The church's mission: 'Finding and Forming Disciples of Jesus Christ.' Church plants within the PCA carry the full weight of Reformed accountability — James River Presbytery oversight, Westminster Confession adherence, male-only elders, inerrancy of Scripture. The Church Hill neighborhood is exactly where Gospel-minded church planting belongs: a community with deep spiritual history and current spiritual need. For men with a heart for urban mission and Reformed doctrine, this is worth visiting.
