Our History
The Founding and Legacy of Providence Baptist Church
A Journey from Humble Beginnings to a Beacon of Faith
In the year of 1868, on a cold winter day, God’s children sought a place to worship. With no building to call their own, the first services were held under the trees, known as the Bush Arbors. Desiring a more covered and spacious area, the congregation began to gather in a cow
barn on the property of Mr. Gus Williams. This humble beginning marked the foundation of what is now known as Providence Baptist Church, the little white church on the side of the road. The founders, Deacon John Richard (Jack) Davis, Gus Williams, and Jim White, laid the groundwork for a spiritual sanctuary that has stood the test of time.
Providence Baptist Church has been blessed with the guidance and spiritual leadership of many distinguished men of God over the years. The journey began with Rev. Goffney of Culpeper or Madison County, who was the church’s first pastor. Following him was Rev. John Ford, also
from Culpeper.
The legacy continued with Rev. John Duval, and then Rev. Kato Roy, who not only served at Providence Baptist Church but also led the congregation at Silver Hill Baptist Church in Morrisville, Virginia. Later, Rev. Roy was called to pastor a church in Washington D.C.
After Rev. Roy’s departure, Rev. Edgar Newton took on the pastoral role, offering services on the third Sunday of each month at Providence and the first Sunday of each month at St. James Baptist Church in Bealeton, Virginia.
Rev. Newton was succeeded by Rev. Houston Brooks of Alexandria, Virginia, who later moved on to become a pastor in Rockville, Maryland. The succession of dedicated pastors included Rev. Elmer Tyler, Rev. Wendall Grant, Rev. Tom Adams, Rev. Warren Williams, Rev. Leonard Frazier, Rev. James Jackson, Rev. Earl W. McKenzie Jr., Rev. Floyd Haralson, and Rev. Nathaniel Harpe.
In January 2025, Rev. Elander Lewis began his journey as the current pastor of Providence Baptist Church, continuing the rich heritage of spiritual leadership and dedication to the church community.

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
