Since 1994, Stockton Memorial Baptist Church has been serving the vibrant and growing community in historic Chesterfield County.  Our history of 123 years in Christian service to the Southside Richmond Communities began at 7th and Stockton in 1892.  The little clapboard structure was severely damaged by fire in 1910.

Following that devastating fire, Stockton moved to 12th and Stockton where we were privileged to serve the Lord and our community for more than almost forty years. 

As God continued to move and bless us in number, we again relocated to what was then 44th Street.  For the next forty-one years the church taught God's Word from what became the Chapel Drive location.  Our present location, completed in mid-July of 1997, continues to provide a rich and Christian heritage, a house of worship to reach the growing communities in our area.

After 120 years, the faithful people of Stockton are moving forward together to face the challenges of the 21st Century, while still adhering to those traditions so dear to Virginians and Virginia Baptist in particular.  I am privileged to pastor a church and its faithful congregation, a church whose rich history of service to God and community continues with perseverance to preach the Gospel Good News to a lost and hurting world.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving (Col. 3:23-24).
