Our Affiliations

We are a member of the Southern Baptist Convention

Since its organization in 1845 in Augusta, Georgia, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has grown to over 16 million members who worship in more than 42,000 churches in the United States. Southern Baptists sponsor about 5,000 home missionaries serving the United States, Canada, Guam and the Caribbean, as well as sponsoring more than 5,000 foreign missionaries in 153 nations of the world.

The term "Southern Baptist Convention" refers to both the denomination and its annual meeting. Working through 1,200 local associations and 41 state conventions and fellowships, Southern Baptists share a common bond of basic Biblical beliefs and a commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world.

You become a Southern Baptist by uniting with a Southern Baptist church, one in friendly cooperation with the general Southern Baptist enterprise of reaching the world for Christ. Church membership is a matter of accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord and experiencing believer's baptism by immersion.

We are a member of the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia

Born in 1996, the SBCV's conception occurred in a 1993 meeting of about 600 theological conservatives from across Virginia who founded the SBCV fellowship. The Fellowship remained in its former State Convention as a force for positive change, but labored in vain for a return to the convention's conservative theological moorings. On October 1, 1996, the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee recognized the SBCV as a fully cooperating, official state Baptist convention.

Since that time, God has richly blessed the SBC of Virginia. Scores of churches have been planted, thousands of people have trusted in Jesus Christ, dozens of missions trips in the U.S. and abroad have applied God's ministry globally, and laypersons of all ages and both genders have been equipped for His service.

Our history is brief, but our heritage harks back to Virginia Baptist history and beyond - back to when the world's greatest leader said, "Go." Our Lord Jesus Christ's Great Commission is the mandate that motivates us to take a grateful glance back, and then turn a confident gaze into the future as He has ordained.
