Welcome!

As District Superintendent, I encourage you to take a few minutes to experience ministry in Southern West Virginia. Our congregations vary in size, ages and locations. We have churches who have very formal worship and others that are on the leading edges of contempory worship. Regardless of our size or style of worship, we have one vision:

To love God with our whole heart, to serve God by serving our neighbor, and to give witness of the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

This is what makes us church. In the words of the hymn "I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together." Thanks be to God!

Helen
