New building

Construction of a new building began in 1947 but work was discontinued during the weather. The church held a fund drive in 1948 to raise $10,000 to finish construction. [2]

Rezoning

Ambox notice.png This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

In 2019, the church submitted a rezoning application to change the district from the low density R-1S to Neighborhood Commercial Corridor. This would clear the way for the construction of 15 apartments on the property. The item was originally scheduled to go before the Charlottesville Planning Commission in May 2019 but the item was deferred until the June 11, 2019 meeting. The group recommended approval on a 6-0 vote. [3]
