Fireplace Church

About this church

Fireplace Church meets Sundays at 9 and 11 a.m. in Blacksburg. A band opens each service, with lyrics displayed for participation, followed by a pastor's hope-centered message about Jesus. The church describes the atmosphere as welcoming and family-oriented, with opportunities to meet people before, during, and after worship. Its name expresses a twin purpose: cultivating passion for Jesus and building community around life. The congregation launched in 2016 after a planning team formed from local relationships and moved from Kipps Elementary School into its Alleghany Street home two years later.

Fireplace Kids serves infants through fifth grade during Sunday services. First-time families should arrive ten minutes early for a detailed check-in process that the church identifies as part of prioritizing children's safety. Youth and college connections include ministry for teenagers and Chi Alpha campus communities at Virginia Tech and Radford University. Small groups meet in homes, cafes, and the church for sermon discussion, Bible study, prayer, encouragement, finances, and life-stage relationships; current examples include mothers with young children, young men, young adults, and women's groups. On the first Sunday each month, Party with the Pastors sets aside 20 minutes for introductions, church history, questions, free food, and childcare. FireStarter then covers values, beliefs, and service teams. Fireplace does not give worship duration, sacrament timing, dress or parking guidance, mobility and hearing support, nursery room specifics, screening information, streams or student schedules, or which service connects to Party with the Pastors.
