United in our mission of reaching the world for Christ

The SBC of Virginia is a fellowship of more than 800 local churches dedicated to the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The convention began in 1996 based on a belief in the inerrancy of Scriptures and committed to church planting as a means to reach the world for Christ.

More than anything, the SBC of Virginia’s prayer is that you would know that you are not alone as you strengthen your church, mobilize your church, plant a new church, and revitalize an existing church.

The SBC of Virginia is supported by your church’s contributions through The Cooperative Program and the Vision Virginia Missions Offering.
