Blue Ridge Presbyterian Church is a new church development of the Presbytery of the James in Virginia, the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. The church was organized in August 2001 under the leadership of organizing Pastor Bill Christian, in Greene County as a way of reaching people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Early services were held in the Blue Ridge Cafe. The church found a permanent home on Spring Hill Road in Ruckersville, Virginia on 13 acres of land that was previously part of the Hollywood Farm, owned by the Gilbert Family. A groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 19, 2003 and construction of the church campus began. The large cast iron bell that once hung on the Gilbert's Hollywood Farm is now suspended in the church steeple.

Blue Ridge Presbyterian Church was charted in June 2004 at a service at First Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville. The first service in the present building took place in November 2004, with the Reverend Hal Horan presiding.

The Reverend Jay Sanderford became the first installed pastor of Blue Ridge in June 2005. In 2007 the church launched its second worship service--the 8:28 service, taking it's name from a passage in the book of Romans "God works together for the good for those who love God."

In 2009 a large multi-purpose classroom building was added to the Blue Ridge campus, providing several classrooms for education, meeting spaces, a nursery, and storage.

The Steeple Bell
The church bell originally hung near the farmhouse of Henry Gilbert, on the  property the church now occupies. The cast-iron bell was cast by the Baltimore Bell Works in the nineteenth century and was used to call farmhands to meals and to warn of emergencies. A gift to Blue Ridge Presbyterian Church from the former owner, Mrs. Mary Jean (Gilbert) Dickens, this bell now calls people to worship every Sunday for the 11 am worship service.
