I have been crucified with Christ: it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loves me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
Shady Grove Baptist Church
"A Church Family Living New Beginnings"
1861 Jordantown Road
Thaxton, Virginia
Shady Grove Baptist is located in the rural area of Bedford County in Virginia. The church was built in 1859 from logs hewn from the community. It was a house of Worship for many years for both Baptist and Methodist denominations. In 1880 the log building was torn down and a frame building was erected on the same site. The current construction was began in 1959 with the educational wing., in 1966 the sanctuary was started and in 1972 the additional educational wing was started. Today we are considering additional plans for a new family center that will include additional Sunday School rooms, fellowship hall and a much needed area for the youth to interact.
Shady Grove is growing and excited about the changes that have been taking place in the church and the community. Both are growing spiritually and progressively.
A Southern Baptist Church that teaches the Bible. Our Sunday School classes are focused on God's Word and the truth of life. If you are looking for a Bible based, Southern Baptist family oriented church this could be the church family for you.
We look forward to expanding and growing in the future, and hope that you can be part of this. We enjoy visitors, please come and join us!
