ACCOVAC Hosts Families

Camp ACCOVAC’s 2026 Family Camp brought Virginia Conference families and leaders together for a joyful time of worship, fellowship and family fun.

Friends On Purpose

The Fall ’26 Witness magazine has dropped! Just the other night, I finished 1 Samuel and found myself thinking about what an amazing friend Jonathan was to David. Jonathan, natural heir to King Saul’s throne, befriended a no-name shepherd boy after his surprising public victory over Goliath. You would think Jonathan would feel threatened and territorial. But instead, he made a covenant with David, giving him his own robe and armor....

App Women’s Retreat: For His Glory

On September 18, a light mist hung in the air as roughly 60 women traveled the mountainous curves and hills that led to the Appalachian campground in Blowing Rock, N.C. for a weekend of renewal and refreshment. The rain that brought slightly cooler temperatures was enough to put everyone in fall-mode for the annual Appalachian Women’s Retreat. This year’s theme was “For His Glory: Fashioned, Forged and Fulfilled” and those gathered seemed eager to hear from God’s Word and connect with one another....
