At mid century, as Richmond stretched in a westerly direction, Tuckahoe was born. The church, organized by the Presbytery of Hanover on February 17,1952, with 59 charter members, is a product of that urban expansion.The first sanctuary (now called Wilson Hall) was erected in 1953 and the education building was built in 1956. The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1961. The administration building was completed in 1977, and the newest addition, with a fellowship hall and classrooms was
completed in 1994. Tuckahoe has continued to expand its mission outreach by supporting local and world missions. Tuckahoe is young; she began as a mustard seed of faith, and her history is being written each day as she carries on her work to the glory of God.
Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church is a strong church: strong in faith, commitment to mission, and support for its members. The congregation still has many charter members who were part of the beginning in 1952 and also many new young families. The atmosphere is both friendly and relaxed, a feeling one senses on entering the church on Sunday morning, taking part in the after church fellowship, or participating in one of the many other activities sponsored by the church.
Tuckahoe's view of the world has traditionally been loving and caring, but not very controversial. The issues to which the congregation responds and devotes its energy are typically those where lending a helping hand or offering assistance will make a difference. Issues of particular concern have been are homelessness, poverty and hunger, and family violence. Tuckahoe will meet these problems by showing acts of mercy, compassion and forgiveness that evidence our faith and commitment to God. We seek opportunities to give our time, talents, and money to uplift those in need, comfort the distressed, fill those who are spiritually empty, and maintain the well being of others.

Where is Tuckahoe, How do I get There?

Tuckahoe is located in Henrico County in a well kept residential neighborhood developed in the 1950's just beyond Richmond's western city limit. The greater metropolitan area served by the church extends another 15 miles west and northwest as well as south across the James River. Our diverse congregation comes from areas close to the church as well as outlying areas.
We Share Our Good News With The World

*Affirmation of Faith* from the Brief Statement of Faith

We trust in God the Holy Spirit. The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the church. The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture, engages us through the Word proclaimed, claims us in the waters of baptism, feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation, and calls women and men to all ministries of the church. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily to tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God's new heaven and
new earth, praying "Come, Lord Jesus!"
