Background

About Us


Nestled atop a quiet hill in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Alleghany County, North Carolina, Whitehead Baptist Church rests in a place where time seems to slow and hearts are invited to be still. Surrounded by God's creation and wrapped in peaceful serenity, the church offers a gentle invitation to all who pass by: come and rest. Many believe there was divine guidance in the choosing of this beautiful parcel of land—a place set apart for worship, fellowship, and faith.

As we reflect on our journey from humble beginnings to the present day, we are reminded of God's unwavering faithfulness. Through trials and triumphs, our church community has stood strong, united by a shared vision and a deep love for God and one another. We invite you to explore our history, join us in worship, and become part of our ongoing story of faith and fellowship.
