“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.

Louie V. Andrews, Pastor
After years near the beach or in the desert, I am thrilled to finally make it to
the mountains. Rockfish is my fifth church in over 30 years of ordination. I plan
to make it my last and then retire in this glorious setting. Hopefully that is a
long time from now. Accompanying me to Camelot is Deb. She loves to
garden, sing, sew and visit grandchildren. Professionally Deb is a Medical
Technologist. We have two children, Martina and David and two grandchildren
Andy and Austin. They belong to Martina but we all claim them.
Deb and I bring our gifts of the past and joyfully will apply them to your
present and future. I love the Bible, new adventures, have very eclectic taste in
music and literature, and when time affords, enjoy hunting for my golf ball in the
woods. When it warms up you are very likely to pass me on my bike. SHARE
THE ROAD!
We are thrilled to be part of such a diverse, talented and compassionate
community. Drop by and see us at 29 Lakeside Close. We can sit on the deck
and observe God’s wonderful handiwork.
