Bringing Joy where there is sorrow, hope where there is hopelessness, healing where there is pain, and wholeness where there is brokenness.

OUR
PARISH HISTORY
Beckford
Parish was formed by an act of “The Governor, Council and
Burgesses” of
the Colony
of Virginia in 1769. Its present boundaries, the same as those
of Shenandoah County, were established in 1772 when the county
was separated from
Frederick County. The parish
was named after Sir William Beckford, Lord Mayor
of London and later a Member of Parliament, because he had
sympathized with
the American Colonies in their resistance to parliamentary
rule from Great Britain.
Emmanuel
Church in Woodstock and St. Andrew's Church in Mt Jackson are
the two active
congregations in Beckford Parish. These congregations are
“yoked” which means that
we share a priest. This relationship has permitted both
churches to separately maintain small
but faithful and active congregations. web updated January 25,2007 |
