OUR HISTORY

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.
