Statement from Bishop Knestout Re: Recent and Extreme Abortion Legislation in Virginia Download the Press Release Here Horrific. Outrageous. Vicious. Those words were in my heart as I heard about the proposed legislation that would enable expanding the brutal practice of abortion. There is no place in a civil society for this sort of thought and action. Equally disheartening and reprehensible are the comments made by Virginia’s Governor and the legislator who proposed such a bill. The discussion a mother and doctor should have is in the best interest of the child as to how we can preserve and not destroy life. ...

This is a full-time position with competitive salary and benefits, but it is really a tremendous opportunity to live the Gospel. If you know somebody who may be searching for their calling, I can assure you we will answer that prayer. I ask you to connect us. Thank you for your hel...
