About this church

Court Street Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation at 517 Court Street in Lynchburg, Virginia. The church describes itself as the oldest Black church in the city, and its historic building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its website invites visitors to come worship in the sanctuary and organizes its work around three aims: exalting the Savior, evangelizing the sinner, and equipping the saints. The site does not post a regular Sunday worship time, so first-time visitors should call 434-847-8209 or email the church office to confirm before coming. Children's Church is held on second Sundays at 11 a.m.

Children's Church is open to ages 2 through 18 and is a worship service in which the children themselves lead the prayers, announcements, and scripture readings. Bible study meets each Wednesday at 11 a.m. for adults and at 6 p.m. for adults and youth, and it is open to anyone. The Youth Advisory Ministry offers weekly Bible study, parent and youth meetings, fellowship activities, and music, dance, and speech programs on special youth Sundays. Other ministries listed include Sunday School, men's, women's, senior adult, music, praise dance, outreach, Caring Hearts, media, ushers, greeters, and kitchen teams. Mail goes to PO Box 733, so use the street address when navigating to the church. Confirm all times with the church.
