Sensing a separate call to residency?

The residential community lives at the heart of Richmond Hill.  Committed to the mission of the healing of metropolitan Richmond, the residents maintain the daily prayers, host guests, and look after the buildings and grounds.

If you wish to explore a call to residency separate from consideration for a specific role, we would love to help you explore your call. We also have a new program, Richmond Hill Sojourn, which invites you into residency for one to three months.
