Clay Lester, why I attend Virginia Heights Baptist Church“Virginia Heights is just the right size church, not too big not too small!

Our church provides my family and I the opportunity to grow and serve the Lord by supporting, participating and serving our church . It’s nice to be needed some time!

Virginia Heights is a family oriented congregation, where our seniors, families and young adults truly care for each other in a Christian way. I love our church congregation and for its history, it’s grace and our dedication to grow – through families and individuals, who need a church home.”

Virginia Heights Baptist Church Roanoke Virginia“Why do I attend Virginia Heights? I have been attending Virginia Heights since birth and I had a great youth group that kept me here through my teenage years. Once I married Sam we became involved in the couples Sunday School class.

I feel that Sunday School is a great way to meet others and to build a bond with those who believe in God.

The bond I have with those at Virginia Heights keeps me coming back as well as bringing up my children in a church that they can learn and experience the great things that God has plan for us.”

Virginia Heights Baptist Church, Roanoke“I attend VHBC because i love the youth group and the youth events we are allowed to do. The people there are the friendliest people you could ever meet. Ever since I’ve been there, every time I walk through the doors, I always feel like this is where I belong.”

“I have been a member of VHBC since 1961. Initially, I was unable to attend as regularly as I would have liked because of work commitments. In recent years, I have been able to be involved in all aspects of church life. The things that I enjoy most about attending VHBC are: the warm friendly people that worship here; the fact that I know so many of these people and am aware of some of their needs as they are aware of some of mine. This closeness enhances my worship experience. I feel blessed to be a part of this church.”
