About St Brides Episcopal Church

St. Bride's Episcopal Church is an Anglo-Catholic parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, rooted in the theology and liturgy of the Oxford Movement. Every Sunday, the church offers a High Mass featuring incense, chanting, classical music with pipe organ accompaniment, and traditional Catholic elements including a statue of Our Lady of Walsingham with votive candles. The parish welcomes members from diverse Christian backgrounds—former Roman Catholics, Congregationalists, Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians—who have been drawn to its beautiful and reverent liturgical worship. St. Bride's emphasizes Bible-based teaching, strong traditional Anglican worship, and a warm, small-church community experience where families with children are actively encouraged and welcomed. Located in the Indian River section of Chesapeake, the church invites visitors to experience worship that seeks to live out the fullness of the Catholic faith within the Anglican tradition.
