Staff
Rockfish Presbyterian Church is the oldest church in Nelson County, VA. The text
of the historical marker reads:
“The Rockfish meeting house was established here by 1746, making it one of the
oldest Presbyterian churches in the region. James McCann conveyed land for a
church and school. Samuel Black became the first pastor of the church in 1747.
Thomas Mason built a new frame structure for the congregation about 1771. The
present Creek Revival brick structure was constructed by 1854. Further modification
have been made to the building and grounds since that time, including an addition
completed in 1995.”
The church has been blessed with faithful pastors and members who have kept the
flame of Christ’s love alive through many lean times. The tenacious spirit of those
first Scots-Irish settlers still lives, but Rockfish has become a place where people of
all backgrounds are welcomed and affirmed.
