The History of Our Church
Located just a few blocks from Virginia's border with Tennessee, Emmanuel Episcopal Church was founded in 1862 in Bristol, Virginia. Our current church was built in 1921 and is a replica of the 13th-century Church of St. James the Lesser in Sulgrave, England (the anscestral home of George Washington). Our Parish House was constructed in 1960. Through the efforts of our current envision campaign, we are undertaking extensive renovations to our facilities.
