Our church is located in beautiful Madison, Virginia, in between Charlottesville (45 miles away) and DC (90 miles away), our Nations capital. It is in a rural setting with an unbelievable view of the Blue Ridge Mountains in our back yard. A 100% bible believing church that is full of the Spirit. We have many families and backgrounds from Farmers whose families have been here for generations to professionals that have moved here from the DC area. We have two Sunday Services with many events from AWANA to Vacation Bible School as well as seasonal gatherings and community outreach. Our biggest event is a multi-day Revival that takes place the last week of September that also commemorates our founding in 1911. We did not shutdown during Covid and subsequently have bridged the gap in the last few years of filling our body with younger families and children. Please take a look at our Facebook page and consider joining us as our Family Minister to not only sustain our younger families and children but help us and the LORD continue to grow and serve His Kingdom.
