The Episcopal Church in Central Virginia was born in the early 1800’s with substantial growth occurring in the 1820’s. Two evangelical bishops, Richard Channing Moore and William Meade were instrumental in the churches growth in what was then the beginning of Virginia’s Western Frontier. Bishop Meade, a Shenandoah Valley native, worked tirelessly to establish new congregations in western Virginia. Nicholas Hamner Cobbs of Bedford County (later first Bishop of Alabama) was an important figure in Church and in the 1820s,he started the congregations of St. Stephen's, Forest; Trinity, Lynchburg; St. Thomas, Sedalia; and St. John's, Bedford. He preached in Botetourt, and helped form congregations that became St. Mark's, in Fincastle and St. John's, in Roanoke. The current Trinity Episcopal Church was built in 1830 and has been in constant use ever since. Today the church is still home to an active congregation. Source Credit: ( visit link)
