St. Anne’s is a Community, a Team, a Family

We believe that following in Christ’s footsteps and those of his disciples is not a spectator sport. We believe that each person is a minister by virtue of his or her baptism. So our community operates as a true community, led by our priest and a team of preachers, pastoral care providers, teachers, musicians, administrators, and a whole host of others who serve God and the church with their spiritual gifts and abilities. We recognize that each person bring gifts, whether they “do” anything or not and so each person is cherished as part of the family. At St. Anne’s, everyone has a voice, young and old, male and female, newcomer and old-timer. God’s love speaks from every heart and every hand.

Brief History

St. Anne's Church was founded in 1874 and originally stood in an area known as Five Forks in Prince Edward County. After a few years, regular worship services declined. In 1949 the church was declared property of the Diocese of Southern Virginia and was offered to a group of Episcopalians that had gathered in Appomattox. The building was dismantled and reconstructed on it's current site. The Rt. Rev. George P. Gunn, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, reconsecrated the church on April 28, 1950.

Since then, St. Anne’s has been an active presence in the Appomattox community. Currently, St. Anne’s is known for hosting and operating a local food pantry, for founding the Good Samaritan Clothing Exchange, and for many other local, national and international outreach projects. A warm community of people from many different backgrounds, the people of St. Anne’s invite you to make St. Anne’s your church home.

Our Pastor

The Rev. Jeunée Cunningham began serving St. Anne’s in February 2009. She is passionate about helping each person experience the life-changing transformation that comes from a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. She believes that when we pray “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven,” God takes us seriously. God uses the Church and each Christ follower to help build God’s kingdom here on earth through healing, outreach to those in need, justice, reconciliation and love.

Pastor Jeunée is married to The Rev. Chris Cunningham, rector of Johns Memorial Episcopal Church in Farmville, Virginia. They have three almost-grown children, two cats, and a Bernese Mountain Dog named Tipsy.
