History
SRBA was organized after the July 1877 Annual Session at the Antioch Baptist Church in Saluda, Virginia. It was comprised of the Antioch and Grafton Baptist Churches of Middlesex County, the First Baptist Church, Tappahannock in Essex County and the Bethlehem Baptist Church in King and Queen County. We currently have thirty-five churches that are united to serve the cause of Christ through education and mission. We offer special sessions to meet community needs.
