Nestled in the Alleghany
Mountains, Granbery Memorial United Methodist Church is located in downtown Covington, Virginia.
Welcoming people from all walks of life, our church supports the
denomination's theme of open hearts, open minds, and open doors. We
believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and a gift to the
world to be studied, shared and passed on to future generations. The
Bible helps us to understand the love of God and His grace. Singing
praises, listening to the Word of God, interpreting the scripture, and
sharing His grace and love, challenge those in attendance and those
listening by way of radio to go forth to witness. We invite you to
visit with us and to become part of our faith community.
Rev. Barry Throckmorton |
