Pastor Jonathan is amazing, the song and worship service is top notch and the church is involved in so many community affairs that it is just good to know that I am a part of something that is a part of the community. The church has such an incredible history that I am sure most people reading this are well aware of it. Coming from California though, it is pleasant to finally meet the Falwell's and to see their ministry in action. When I was in my early 20s I was a radio DJ at a Christian radio station in Santa Maria California and I remember playing Jerry Falwell Sr.'s messages every week. It was a very emotional experience to attend my first service and to go to the Falwell Memorial on the campus for the first time. If you are in Lynchburg, there really is no other place that you should attend church, especially if you only have one Sunday to experience Lynchburg at it's finest. Sort of the church that built the city.

Negligence at Eagle Eyrie: Liberty Live's Failure to Protect Young Parishioners**…read more **By Michelle Freeman** Summer camps are meant to be a sanctuary for children, a place where they can explore, learn, and grow in a safe environment. However, for my family, a recent experience at Eagle Eyrie summer camp, sponsored by Liberty Live's York River Campus, has been anything but safe or nurturing. The nightmare began on the first day of camp when my daughter discovered large stains resembling blood on her mattress. Horrified by the unsanitary conditions, she immediately reported the issue to the camp staff. In an astonishing display of negligence, the staff dismissed her concerns and instructed her to sleep on the stained mattress, refusing to provide a clean one. Seeking a resolution, my daughter contacted me. Enraged and justifiably concerned, I reached out to the camp staff, demanding immediate action. Instead of addressing the problem, the pastor Jonathon Acosta's response was dismissive and never reached back out and my family hasn't heard from Eagle Eyrie confernce center since. They did however have the student pastor Chris Page from Liberty Live reach out only to be accusatory, questioning why my daughter had even inspected the bedding in the first place. The situation took an even darker turn when the staff retaliated by confiscating my daughter's emergency use phone for the remainder of the trip. This punitive action not only punished her for raising a valid concern but also put her in a potentially dangerous situation by cutting off her line of communication. The camp, which costs over $400 for a four-day stay, has offered no compensation or apology for this disgraceful treatment. Even more troubling is the silence from Liberty Live's York River Campus, the church that sponsored and organized this trip. As an institution responsible for the well-being of young parishioners, their failure to ensure a safe and respectful environment is inexcusable. Liberty Live, a church that prides itself on community values and care, has shown a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to them. This incident raises serious questions about their oversight and commitment to protecting their young parishioners. How many other children have suffered similar neglect under their watch? How can parents trust a church that fails to act in the best interests of their children? The management at Eagle Eyrie and Liberty Live must be held accountable. Parents deserve to know that their children are in safe hands, especially when they are far from home. Campers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, not subjected to unsanitary conditions and retaliatory actions. It is imperative that Liberty Live issues a public apology, provides appropriate compensation, and takes immediate steps to ensure such incidents never happen again. They must also reevaluate their partnership with Eagle Eyrie and implement stricter oversight to prevent future negligence. As a community, we must demand higher standards from those responsible for our children's care. Liberty Live's failure to protect and advocate for their young parishioners at Eagle Eyrie is a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant and hold such institutions accountable. Until meaningful changes are made, parents should reconsider entrusting their children to this camp and the organizations that support it. This incident should serve as a wake-up call to all parents and guardians: our children's safety and well-being must always come first, and we must hold accountable those who fail to uphold this fundamental responsibility. I guess the bloody mattress should be a blessing, since some paying children received no bed at this event. Don't worry, the church staff had mattresses. After 2 nights the issue was resolved by changing it out for a different one.

The marker is in excellent condition and I have nothing to add to Joshua's review. The marker reads, "St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, about a mile northwest of here, was established by the Rev. Nicholas Hamner Cobbs in 1824. Cobbs, later the first Episcopal Bishop of Alabama, is credited with revitalizing that denomination in western Virginia. The St. Stephen's congregation erected its first sanctuary ca. 1825 on land that had been part of Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest tract. This building was replaced in 1844 with the present brick Greek Revival-style sanctuary on the same site. The church's cemetery, with grave markers dating to the 1840s, reflects a variety of styles of funerary art." Worth your time to check it out if you're in the area.
