God has given us a bold vision—a place where our church and our community can gather, connect, and encounter His love. Our Common Ground campaign isn’t just about improving an outdoor space; it’s about creating a lasting invitation—a space that welcomes, nurtures, and fosters life-changing moments for generations to come.

Sunday, March 23rd is our BIG GIVE DAY!

We are asking every member of our faith community who believes in our call to be “in the city, for the city” to dig deep and give generously. We have the unique opportunity to create a common space where hundreds of thousands of people walk, eat, and play each year in the heart of Carytown. We have an incredibly valuable piece of property that we want to give back, with love, to the city by creating an outdoor space that everyone can enjoy.

Will you join us in creating a space that shows our community the love of Jesus? Then GIVE NOW:

(Be sure to select “Common Ground Campaign” from the dropdown menu before you check out!)

Are you in need of childcare for a date night or brunch date with your spouse? Worry no more, A10 Students has got you! Below are 3 dates/times that A10 Students will be provided childcare, and what makes it a win-win for everyone is that ALL proceeds will go to our our upcoming Mexico Mission Team fund.

• Sat, Mar 22 (11a-2p) — Parent Lunch Out

• Fri, Apr 11 (5p-8p) — Parent Night Out

• Fri, Apr 18 (5p-8p) — Parent Night Out

It can cost quite a bit of money to go on mission trips, and so part of the process is group projects/events that helps our team raise the funds that are necessary to go.

Financials:

• Location: 2810 W Cary St

• Childcare cost is $30 per hour (up to 3 hours).

• That cost covers up to THREE children. If you need child care for more, a second sign-up would be required.

• A lunch/dinner (pizza) will be included for the kids while in care.

Ladies, join us for a refreshing prayer walk on Saturday, March 22nd, at 10 AM at Forest Hill Park! Come early at 9:30 AM to Crossroads Coffee for some caffeine and fellowship before we begin. We will meet in front of the Stone House at Forest Hill Park (4021 Forest Hill Ave, Richmond, VA 23225) - We’ll provide prayer prompts for our church and city as you walk—whether with friends or at your own pace. Let’s connect, pray, and enjoy the beauty of the morning together!

Let us know you're coming by filling out this form so we know to look for you:

Our church has always been a place of worship, connection, and community—a space where faith is nurtured and friendships are formed. As we look to the future, we feel called to create a new kind of gathering place—one that extends beyond our walls and into the heart of our city.

Join us for a Common Ground Prayer Night at 2810: a community gathering place on Thursday, March 20. We will pray over our city as a whole, the new park space, and the future relationships that will be built there. We hope to see you there!

NO WORSHIP SERVICE ON DECEMBER 29

Every year, we take the Sunday morning after Christmas to rest and spend time with our family and friends. Therefore, we will not have a worship service at the Byrd on Sunday, December 29th.

Instead, we hope to see you our Christmas Eve service on Tuesday, December 24th at 5 pm. Then, we will be gathering together again in the new year on Sunday, January 5th to begin a new message series called The Journey Ahead.

CHRISTMAS EVE: THE GREATEST GIFT

Join us for our annual Christmas Eve Service on Tuesday, December 24 at 5:00 PM at The Byrd Theatre! Invite your family and friends to join us, and come early to enjoy some hot cocoa and freshly made cookies. We are excited to welcome the A10 KIDS choir as a part of our worship band for this special occasion! We will wrap up our "He Shall Be Called Series with a message called "The Greatest Gift" as we celebrate the child who was predicted long ago in Isaiah 9:6, and talk about how we can still trust him today.

Please note: This service will be in-person only, with no A10 KIDS programming at 2810. Instead, children of all ages are welcome to join us at the Byrd Theatre as we celebrate Christmas Eve together as a faith community.

Many guys desire a regular hang-out time with other guys - not something they have to commit to every week, but something pretty regular they can engage with if available. Also, most of us have experienced how challenging it can be to make friends as you get older. So, A10 Men's Ministry wants to do what we can to help with both of those realities. Fireside Chats are a no-pressure opportunity for guys to get together, hang out, connect, and chat about life. 

Upcoming Fireside Chats:

• Wed, Dec 11 at 7PM - Forest Hill - hosted by Zach Woolard

• Thu, Dec 12 at 7PM - Carytown - hosted by Chris Barras

• Tue, Dec 17 at 7PM - Southside - hosted by TJ Owen

• Wed, Dec 18 at 7PM - Midlothian - hosted by Topher Lytle

Sign up for one that works for your schedule or location, and then attend. It's as easy as that!

We are creating space in Carytown to recall the story behind the Christmas lights with a night of worship and prayer in the open air. We are inviting our faith community and our neighbors to join us for an outdoor advent worship night, where we will sing familiar Christmas tunes, create crafts with friends and family, and pray over our city amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

So put on your mittens, grab a cup of cocoa, and join us at 6:30pm in the heart of Richmond as we celebrate love incarnate coming down to earth. 

Are you a sucker for Christmas music? Do you LOVE the time of year when you get to pull down all the holiday decor, string up garland, and trim the tree? Does your spouse adamantly oppose decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving but you just need to get those wiggles out?

Stick around on Sunday, November 24 after church to help us Deck the Halls as we decorate our beautiful space at 2810: a community gathering place for the holidays. Help us put together our 10ft Christmas tree, string garland along the banisters, and hang wreaths from every available surface. We will also be prepping our Advent Christmas ornaments as a gift for anyone participating in this year's Advent offering.
