Who We Are
We are a congregation of
the Presbyterian Church (PC-USA) and a member of the Shenandoah
Presbytery.
We began as a Chapel in 1915 with the advent of the Buffalo Gap
Development Company, an iron ore smelting concern. The Chapel
served primarily as a Sunday School and preaching outpost of Loch
Willow Presbyterian Church, who provided the leadership for the
Sunday School and worship services. After many discussions and
a process guided by the Presbytery, the Chapel separated from the
Loch Willow Church in June 2003. A Commission was formed in
July 2003, resulting in the Chapel becoming a Church and member of
Shenandoah Presbytery in 2005.
We are a community Church residing in a growing neighborhood. Our
church family is a diverse mixture of people: young and old from
north and south, blue-collar and professional, life long
Presbyterians and many from other religious backgrounds and
traditions.
We are a congregation deeply committed to a vision of God's openness
to all people in our wonderful diversity, to the spiritual
nourishment of both the head and the heart, and to making a
difference in our community and world. Whether you worship with us,
seek a spiritual home, yearn to make a difference in your life and
community, attend an educational, cultural, or community event, or
simply stop by to view the facilities, here you will find a place of
hospitality, spiritual nurture, challenge, and energy.
