Every year in November we like take a Sunday to celebrate missions. This year we focused on 'Partnerships in the Gospel,' and we got to look at who we are partnering with in the New River Valley and across the ocean. John Upton, executive director of the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) and the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (VBMB), leads us on this special Sunday, and speaks about being fishers of men.

Baptism: Newness of Life
April 21, 2024 • Jeff Noble
On this Baptism Sunday we were able to celebrate 9 different people declaring their faith and obedience to Christ in believer's baptism. Believer's baptism is significant moment in the life of a follower of Christ. We spend time on this special Sunday unpacking what Scripture says about the importance, significant, and practice of baptism.
Reconciled!
January 7, 2024 • Jeff Noble • Romans 5:1–5
"The beauty of the gospel is in the word 'while.'" While we were helpless, sinners, and enemies of God, Christ died to reconcile us. This message focuses on the new life in Christ that comes through repentance and faith, based on nothing that we could do. While we were in open rebellion against God he drew us into salvation through the work of Christ. And, as we have been reconciled, we in turn are ministers of reconciliation toward others.
