    First came the settlement at Jamestown then those who founded our country began to move inland, following the James River and never forgetting the hand of God in their enterprise as they went. This church was established in 1613. Political upheaval and war, revolutionary and civil, brought about temporary destruction but it still stands today, testimony to the Providence of God...
