11:00 AM — Traditional Worship Service
In our 11:00 worship service, we sing timeless hymns of the faith accompanied by organ and piano. We read and reflect on scripture together, and join together in fellowship and prayer. The sermon calls us to deeper reflection on the day's Scripture and proclaims the grace and glory of God's Word made known to us in Christ. This service includes traditional liturgies—like The Apostles' Creed, Gloria Patri, The Lord's Prayer, and Doxology every week. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Music for this service often includes choir, handbells, chamber ensembles, and soloists. Learn more →

OUR VISION
Westhampton Church is committed to growing in grace and in the knowledge and love of God, investing intentionally in the next generation, and sharing the love of Christ through mission and service.​
OUR HISTORY
On November 9, 1924, Westhampton Methodist Church was organized. The first services were held in a large tent on a lot adjacent to the Masonic building. The congregation began to worship in its first sanctuary in 1939. Our current sanctuary was built in 1950. Westhampton's Christian Education building was added between 1953 and 1967.
We are a church with deep roots in the Westhampton community here in Richmond. And we endeavor to faithfully steward the great tradition we inherit, to further the great commission entrusted to all followers of Jesus, and to nurture a life-giving, Christ-centered community.
