Welcome to the Historic Brown Grove Baptist Church

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Welcome to Brown Grove Baptist Church—a historic and spirit-filled church located in Ashland, Virginia. For over 150 years, Brown Grove has stood as a beacon of faith, hope, and service in our community. We are a church family deeply rooted in Christian love and committed to growing together in the knowledge of God’s Word and the work of His Kingdom.

About Us

As we move forward this year, we do so by Striving Behind Enemy Lines—answering God’s call to be bold, compassionate, and courageous in a world that so desperately needs the light of Christ. We are excited about what God is doing here at Brown Grove. We are proud of our leaders, our members, and the many ways this house of faith continues to press forward in unity and purpose. But we also believe God is not done with us yet.

We can no longer stand by while our children live in fear. We can no longer wait as families in our community struggle with basic needs. God is calling us to do greater works—not only to bless those inside the church walls but to be a blessing beyond them. We are committed to using our time, talent, and treasure to accomplish the mission God has blessed us with.

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 reminds us, ”…now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” At Brown Grove, we take that call seriously.

Why do we wrestle with god being god

Our Commitment

In this message, we explore the deep tension between our human understanding and God’s divine sovereignty. Why do we question His ways, resist His timing, and struggle to fully trust His plan? Drawing from the story of Jacob wrestling with God, we’ll uncover how our struggles reveal both our desire for control and our longing for blessing. This sermon will remind us that wrestling with God isn’t a sign of weak faith—it’s often the pathway to deeper surrender, greater intimacy, and a transformed identity in Him.

We are committed to

  • Providing a place of worship where all are welcomed and we walk together in Christian love.
  • Growing in holiness through worship, study, discipline, and sound doctrine.
  • Reaching out to win souls for Christ and building healthy, thriving families within our community.

We Invite You

This empowering message reminds us that life’s setbacks are not the end of our story. When trials knock us down, God calls us to rise again in faith and courage. Through the example of biblical heroes who refused to stay defeated, we’ll discover the strength, hope, and victory that comes from trusting God’s power. No matter how heavy the burden or how dark the season, you are not meant to stay down—God has more for you!
