…grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart…

join us in Giving With Gladness!
On Sunday, October 20, we kicked off our 2025 annual financial stewardship campaign, Giving with Gladness! This year, we are highlighting how our St. Paul’s Ivy family makes a difference in the lives of our members. We hope these personal stories will inspire you to consider how our parish makes a difference in your life and how you will support the ministries of our active, multi-generational parish that helps our community find meaning, joy, and love in Jesus Christ every day. We are a special congregation empowered by the generosity of parishioners like you. Please consider making a 2025 financial pledge to support the ministries of our church family as we continue to grow in love, service, and faith for all generations!
“In many ways St. Paul’s Ivy is the anchor of our lives here, and we couldn’t ask for a better church home”.
St. Paul’s Ivy has been central to the Bollier family’s life since they moved to Crozet two and a half years ago. Laura currently serves on our vestry, and Geoff leads our Men’s Group and serves as both an usher and a lector on Sunday mornings. Your pledge supports the ministries and activities of the many young families in our congregation, including nursery care on Sunday mornings, children’s formation classes, our Young Families Group, and special events like Vacation Bible Camp and our annual Christmas Pageant.
“We’re especially thankful for the role that the St. Paul’s community has played in our children’s upbringing, but also grateful for the vibrant programming St. Paul’s provides for parishioners of all ages”.
Rebecca and Jeff Hill’s children, Maddie and Nick, are involved in Youth ministries and service projects, and they serve as acolytes, too. From weekly Youth Gatherings and Sunday morning formation opportunities, to the annual St. James’ School mission trip, your generous pledges enable the growth and development of Christian discipleship among our youth.
“As stewards of the gifts we enjoy, our collective pledges enable St Paul’s, Ivy to best meet the spiritual and financial needs of our congregation and of our community”.
Soon after Mary and Gray Heppner found St. Paul’s, Ivy, they became active in many aspects of our parish family life. Currently, Gray serves on our vestry, and Mary leads our Women’s Group and serves on our Hospitality Committee. Your generous pledge enables us to welcome newcomers and fold them into our parish life by providing unique opportunities, such as the Sunday Rector’s Forum, Shrine Mont retreats, music ministries, small groups, and more.
