Who we are:
St. Francis Anglican is the traditional Anglican church for the community of Blacksburg, Va. We are a Diocesan Mission of the APA Diocese of the Eastern U.S. (DEUS). We use the traditional Book of Common Prayer (1928) as the sole source for our worship. A detailed schedule of our services is available below.
St. Francis was founded in 1980 and is housed in one of the most historic churches in Blacksburg. We're located at 306 Progress St. on the corner of Wilson, one and a half blocks north of the downtown fire and rescue squad station. We're especially convenient to downtown and the Virginia Tech campus (a couple of blocks away), and easy to find by car. (Click here for directions and a link to a map.) We have plenty of on-street parking with overflow available in an adjacent parking lot.
We invite you to join us on Sundays and Thursday evenings for worship and fellowship, and to contact us with any questions or pastoral needs.
How we serve our community:
We hold regular services of worship at St. Francis each Sunday morning, beginning with the reading of Morning Prayer at 9:15 AM. Our main service of Holy Communion is held each Sunday at 10 AM. We also hold Evening Prayer services each Thursday evening at 6 PM.
Our members are very active in their communities and provide outreach through their volunteer efforts. They support programs such as the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry and the Radford - Fairlawn Daily Bread kitchen, among others. As a church, St. Francis provides outreach through charitable donations to community organizations such as the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program (MCEAP), and also to immediate local needs as they arise through the Red Cross and other agencies.
Our church building and Rutherfoord Hall (our Parish Hall) are available for weddings or other services, and for any suitable community gathering. The church seats 250, and Rutherfoord Hall has two large and two small meeting rooms and a full kitchen for your convenience.
We extend our generous thanks to Fr. Chip Sills, Priest-in-Charge of St. Francis, Fr. Glenn Spencer, Dean of the Virginias in the Diocese of the Eastern U.S., and Fr. William Crites, former Visiting Priest of St. Francis, for their service, inspiration, and assistance.
