About Us
New Concord Presbyterian Church was organized in 1835
and has a rich history of serving the Living God and ministering to the
needs of the community. The church property is located on 47
acres of land in a beautiful setting in Campbell County fourteen miles
Southeast of Lynchburg, Virginia. It is surrounded by trees and
consists of the church, picnic pavilion, playground, Parish House,

Our members are involved in Sunday morning worship, Sunday School,

programs. Some of the activities that our members look forward to each
year are: Camp Hat Creek outings, other family camping events, Vacation
Bible School, children’s Christmas programs, Holy Week and other
seasonal services with churches in the community, Easter Sunrise
Service, Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Caroling and delivering baskets to
shut-ins. We also sponsor visiting music groups and gospel singing
programs, host missionary speakers and other special speakers, and have
Bible studies. We enjoy fellowship together and frequently
include covered dish meals with our special services and programs.

We believe that being a church in a secular society is one of the
greatest challenges of today. The forces at work in society draw us
away from our church commitment and involvement.
As a congregation we maintain the following tenants to be fundamental:
God is the creator of the universe, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
was the incarnation of God on earth, the Bible is the inspired Word of
God, Christ was crucified and died for our sins so that we might obtain
forgiveness, and God is present with us through the Holy Spirit. Our
Christian life is nurtured by worship, prayer, and education and by the
sacraments of the Lord’s Supper and baptism.
