Gethsemane Baptist Church, established in 1963, is located in Richlands, Virginia, a town of approximately 5,000 residents, in the beatiful mountains of sothwestern Virginia. Our church facilities include a 225-seat sanctuary, a large fellowship hall and kitchen, a Family Life center (constructed in 2014), and a parsonage (which is currently being refurbished).
GBC has an active WMU, Brotherhood, Deacon Family Ministry, Youth Ministry, and JOY Club for Kids. Many opportunities to serve God and build community are provided. A few of these include:
Backpack Ministry
Gethsemane Care (feeding and visiting our shut-ins)

Our mission is to serve Jesus Christ, to be obedient to His Word, and to lead others to Him. We are searching for a pastor who believes scripture, preaches TRUTH, and strives each day to be more like Christ in thought, word and deed. If you are looking for a place where you can serve God and feel like family among a community of believers, please consider us as you search for the place to which God is calling you.
