ABINGDON PRESBYTERY

Abingdon Presbytery is a part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We have 55 churches with a total of 4,646 members, and 49 ministers, working together in 13 counties in southwestern Virginia.

Our mission is to give support to the churches and their leaders; providing up-to-date information and material on mission opportunities, evangelism, peacemaking, hunger issues, leadership development, and other means to enhance our relationship with God, to strengthen the local churches for more effective witness, to share the ministry of the greater Church in the world, as we serve our Lord together.

The map below right shows the location of Abingdon Presbytery (orange color) in geographic relation to the other presbyteries of the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic.

Abingdon Presbytery embraces the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, with magnificent scenery and friendly people to enjoy as you live and travel along its highways and byways.  Presbytery extends westward from Bland, Pulaski, Floyd and Carroll Counties to the Cumberland Gap, and is bordered by West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.  Presbytery's office in Wytheville is conveniently near the crossroads of Interstate routes I-77 and I-81.

Many of our congregations are under 100 members.  Being one of the smaller presbyteries is one of our many assets.  Because of our size, culture and friendly nature, we enjoy a close neighborly first-name warmth as we share the love of Jesus Christ.
