The Presbytery
Abingdon Presbytery is a middle governing body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We are in the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic. The Presbytery includes 47 congregations and 1 worshiping community, 32 Teaching Elders (12 of whom are Honorably Retired), and 6 Commissioned Ruling Elders, working together in thirteen counties in southwestern Virginia.
Our mission is to support 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.
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 Interstates 77 and 81.
