We are so excited to share some of what God has done on this journey from purchasing a permanent building in White Post, VA through its many phases of use and repairs, to its renovation. On November 13th, 2022 we held a Dedication Ceremony after the sanctuary renovation was finally finished. We hope you enjoy our journey in pictures through the many changes!
