congregations within that district.
-
District One -
Geographically the largest district in Virginia. With nineteen churches, it has an average number of congregations, but the
division of the district by the Brushy Mountain and Walker Mountain ridge makes coming together for district-wide events
difficult.
-
District Two -
Like District One, this
district is geographically separated by the Brushy Mountain ridge, but because it is smaller in size, the congregations have
much less distance to travel for fellowship activities.
-
District Three -
It would be unfair to say that the eleven
congregations in District Three were simply congregations of the "greater Roanoke and Salem metropolitan area." Two churches,
Calvary Christian in Covington and First Christian in Clifton Forge are several miles north and west of Roanoke in the Jefferson
National Forest nearing the West Virginia Border.
-
District Four -
District Four has the most dense concentration of Disciples congregations with twenty eight churches.
Many of the congregations in this district also co-operate with the Piedmont District Convention, an alliance of
African-American congregations in Virginia and North Carolina.
-
District Five -
Many of the congregations in District Five are in Lynchburg or Madison Heights. This district has the
distinction of having Lynchburg College, one of our denomination's institutes of higher learning.

-
District Six -
Although it is a sparsely populated district, some of the most historic Stone-Campbell
congregations lay claim to this area.
-
District Seven -
Most of the congregations in this district reside in the greater Richmond metropolitan area.
-
District Eight -
The Tidewater area has twelve congregations with the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel separating
some of the congregations from the others.
-
District Nine -
Also known as the Rappahannock District. Although relatively small in size, these
congregations for years have led the region in the amount of giving to Special Camp for Special People, a camp held at
Craig Springs for mentally challenged and developmentally disabled youth and adults.
-
District Ten
-
This district spans all the way from Charlottesville to just outside of Ashland and all the
way north to Orange. This district is mainly made up of rural congregations, but there is still much diversity
reflected.
-
District Eleven -
Nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, these churches are rich in history and are some of
the earliest Stone-Campbell heritage churches in the state.
