Whether you are new to the area, at the start of your friendship with Jesus, or looking for other opportunities to serve His Church, we want you to feel welcomed here at Blue Ridge. Our members are warm and friendly, so especially with a smaller congregation, don’t be surprised if you’re greeted a couple of times! Our services are usually between 60-75 minutes.

Here are a few things that you can expect from our service

Biblical Teaching

Each week, we open the Bible and teach straight from it. Our pastor, Tim McGill helps us explore Scripture in a way that’s clear, thoughtful, focused on Jesus, and practical for daily living. We believe God’s Word speaks into our lives today, and we want to be shaped by it.
