About us
Macedonia Baptist Church is a vibrant and welcoming Baptist community located in Flint Hill, Virginia. Serving the beautiful Rappahannock County, VA, our church has been a beacon of faith, hope, and love for over a century and a half.
Founded in 1865 by Rev. Thornton Hill and two members from the Battle Run Church, Macedonia Baptist Church holds a rich history deeply rooted in the Baptist tradition.
On the third Sunday in July, Rev. George Horner, the first pastor, organized the church, where services were initially held in fields and various homes. It took tremendous dedication and perseverance, but after 22 years, the church raised enough funds to purchase the land. Many more years passed before the completion of the church building, which has since been remodeled and expanded multiple times.
​
Beyond its stately exterior, Macedonia Baptist Church is a place filled with joy, exuberance, and a warm, welcoming spirit. As you enter our sanctuary, you will immediately feel embraced by the love and acceptance of our church family. From the moment you step through the doors, you can expect to receive warm greetings and hugs, as if you were a long-lost family member.
​
At Macedonia Baptist Church, we strive to create a nurturing environment where individuals can deepen their faith, engage in meaningful worship, and build lasting relationships. Under the leadership of our esteemed pastor, Rev. Dr. Tess Powell-Curtis, we are committed to following the teachings of Jesus Christ and spreading His message of love, compassion, and justice.
​
Our church offers a range of ministries and activities for people of all ages, including inspiring worship services, Bible study groups, youth programs, community outreach initiatives, and opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. We believe in the power of collective worship and service to make a positive impact both within our congregation and in the wider community.
​
Whether you are a lifelong Baptist, new to the faith, or searching for a spiritual home, Macedonia Baptist Church welcomes you with open arms. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey of faith, as we seek to honor God, support one another, and make a difference in the world around us.
