Nomini Baptist Church was
established on 29 April 1786 with 17 members. By 1809 it was
reputedly the largest Baptist church in Virginia with 875
members. The original meetinghouse, built nearby in 1790 on
land donated by a charter member, Captain John Pierce, was
replaced in 1858-59 by the present brick church. During the
past two centuries Nomini Baptist Church has had 27
ministers, beginning with Elder Henry Toler, and is
considered the mother church of ten congregations in three
counties. |
