Field Notes
Worship and Testimony at Walker's Chapel in Mount Jackson
Great morning sharing about Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge at Walker's Chapel Church of the Brethren here in Mount Jackson, Virginia. Right in our own backyard.
Walker's Chapel sits on Walkers Chapel Lane just outside town. It's a small congregation in Shenandoah County that's been faithful to this community for a long time. The guys shared their testimonies, I talked about the work, and the church welcomed us like family.
Our program is based right here in Mount Jackson. Sharing at a church this close to home is a good reminder that the work starts here first.
If you're in the Mount Jackson area and you're looking for support for yourself or a loved one dealing with addiction, we're here. Visit our Get Help page or just stop by 6043 Broad Street.
