A Word from our Executive Presbyter

We are located completely within the boundary of Appalachia. Our 150 congregations are tucked among the forested mountains, nestled in the river valleys, found in coal mining camps and villages, located near the growing recreation centers and established within the towns and cities in forty-one counties of the state. About two-thirds of our congregations are identified as small churches with fewer than one hundred members.

We extend an invitation to you to visit us in West Virginia. We hope that the resources you find here will be beneficial to you in your ministry and will acquaint you with our ministry and mission among and through the mountain folk of Appalachia.

Gay D. Mothershed, Executive Presbyter
