Mormon Population
Mormons make up 1.65% of the population of Lynchburg. The state of Virginia has 90,738 members in 19 stakes, 157 wards, 40 branches, and 2 missions. The Virginia Richmond Mission was created in October 1947.
LDS History
Jedediah M. Grant, an early missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was highly demanded in Virginia. He received three speaking invitations for every one he could fill in the 1840s. His listeners gave him a horse, clothing, and funds to assist his future preaching assignments. In 1841, there were some 80 members of the Church in Virginia. After Grant and his brother left the state in 1842, another missionary, R.H. Kinnamon, traveled to nine counties and baptized more than 100 people.
Family Friendliness
With more than 80 miles of hiking and biking terrain, the Blue Ridge mountains are calling your name. Pair the scenic trails with the James River, and it’s easy to find something to do outside in Lynchburg, Virginia. For fun on more solid ground, golf on one of our many courses is a great way to spend your day–or try your hand at Frisbee golf. Lynchburg is also home to the country’s only year round ski slope.
