Honoring Bro. John's 32 Years of Service to our Lord at BRBC. He serves selflessly every day of his week at all hours of the day and night, always on call for you and your family. He will always be here for you. Gad called him 32 years ago and he moved his family to this field of service at Blue Ridge Baptist Church. He and Jackie have served in all areas of the church and they serve with joy and thanksgiving! Please let Bro. John know of your appreciation for him as he serves as a good and failthful servant here in his 33rd year.

The history of honoring those ordained by God goes back to biblical times. The Apostle Paul wrote that “elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching” (1 Tim. 5:17). In 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13, he said “those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you … hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.”

In 1992 this idea became known as Pastor Appreciation Month, to honor pastors and religious personnel. In 1994, Focus on the Family chose October as Pastor Appreciation Month for the purpose of church members financially supporting their minister. Pastor Appreciation Day is celebrated the second Sunday in October and Pastor Appreciation Month throughout the month.

Below are detailed descriptions of our current weekly scheduled events.

NOTE: Tuesday Oct 28th will be the last session this year. We will take a break until after the holidays.

Class will resume  on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.

We are currently studying Characters of the Bible  Volume Three - The Kings

The people of Israel had come a long way since the days of slavery in Egypt. One of their most revered leaders, Moses, had been appointed by God to bring His people into the promised land. Once there, each of Israel's twelve tribes was given sections of the land to occupy, and the people began life in their new home.  As they grew in numbers they became a Nation and through the prophet Samuel and earthly king was chosen. Join us for an enlightening study "The Kings"

Everyone is invited. We have study guides available.

Study written by author: Elizabeth Woodson

Join us this afternoon and every Sunday afternoon for a new Bible Study, "Live Free", a study of the book of Galatians. Books are available.
