Proposal for a New district

The Bi-District Task Force and various teams throughout the districts have been hard at work putting together proposals for the future of the Charlottesville and Richmond Districts. Below you will find a host of resources to help you navigate the proposed changes of becoming one district with a new name, embracing a simplified accountable structure and our Wesleyan heritage to guide future ministry.

Resources for the

local church

Change is difficult for the best of us. We hope these resources will help our local congregations understand the proposed uniting of the Charlottesville and Richmond Districts so that we can be more effective in mission and ministry in this new era.
