Our Church
In January 1887, the General Superintendent of the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad wrote to one of a group of seven persons who were anxious to establish a Disciples church in Ashland that “the company will give the Disciples Church at Ashland half an acre of ground provided they will build within a reasonable time a proper church building thereupon”. Thus the Ashland Christian Church had its beginnings. With help from neighboring Independence Christian Church, the Virginia Christian Missionary Society, the Tidewater Association, and other churches of the denomination, to which an appeal for funds was sent out, the “proper church building” was erected and was dedicated in August of 1890.
