 The Episcopal Church of the Creator is a growing and vibrant parish located in Mechanicsville, Virginia, fifteen minutes north of downtown Richmond.

As people called by God to stay “centered in Christ,” we uphold Christ-centered  biblical preaching and teaching. We find our inspiration in the tangible intervention of the Holy Spirit, and in the satisfaction that all our needs are met through the gift of companionship bestowed on us in Baptism.
