Tidewater Church is part of the Ecumenical, union and community churches family of churches in The American Church Story. 7 congregations of the Ecumenical, union and community churches family gather across Virginia — 373 across the United States on The Church Map.

Union and community churches are the living proof that traditions can share a building, a pastor, and a table. In small towns across America they kept the doors open by becoming one congregation instead of three struggling ones — and no one had to stop being who they were.
