At Barren Ridge Church in Augusta County, VA, we believe that church life is about more than Sunday services. It’s about building a strong Christian fellowship church where families can grow in faith, connect with one another, and enjoy meaningful time together. That’s why we’re excited to offer a variety of family-friendly events that bring people of all ages together for fun, learning, and spiritual growth.
From seasonal festivals to weekly Bible studies, these events are designed to strengthen both individual faith and community bonds. Whether you’re from Fishersville, Waynesboro, or Staunton, these gatherings are open to all and provide an excellent way to get involved in our growing fellowship.
Community Movie Nights
Our outdoor movie nights, held during warmer months, are among the most anticipated events. Families bring blankets, snacks, and lawn chairs to enjoy uplifting, family-appropriate films right here at the church. It’s a relaxed setting where kids can laugh and play while parents enjoy fellowship with others in the community.
We often combine these nights with short devotionals and prayer, making them a perfect blend of fun and faith. These movie nights support our broader goal of community outreach and help introduce newcomers to the values of our brethren church.
Children’s Christmas Party
The annual Children’s Christmas Party is a highlight of the holiday season. Hosted each December, this event features festive games, holiday treats, crafts, and a telling of the Christmas story that helps young hearts understand the true meaning of the season. Parents can relax while volunteers from our church oversee activities, and the entire church comes together to support this joyful celebration.
Summer Bible Camp
Each summer, Barren Ridge Church welcomes children from across Augusta County to our week-long Bible camp. Through stories, songs, games, and hands-on lessons for Bible study, kids learn about God’s love in a vibrant, supportive setting. It’s also a great opportunity for youth volunteers to grow in leadership and service.
Bible camp is one of our key outreach programs, helping introduce children and families to our church who may not yet be involved in regular Sunday services.
Monthly Fellowship Meals
Sharing a meal is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to connect. Our monthly fellowship meals, held after selected Sunday services, are potluck-style gatherings where everyone brings a dish and a willingness to share. These meals are relaxed, warm, and full of conversation, laughter, and prayer.
They offer a great chance to learn about upcoming church events, explore volunteer opportunities, and form lasting relationships with other believers in the Fishersville and Waynesboro area.
Livestreaming and Online Events
We recognize that not everyone can attend in person, which is why we offer church live streaming and online worship services. Events such as online devotionals, streamed Sunday services, and digital Bible lessons are available through our Christian streaming service. This makes it easy for families who are traveling, homebound, or new to the area to stay connected with our community.

Why These Events Matter
These family-friendly events are more than just social gatherings. They reflect our church’s mission to bring faith into everyday life and make space for families to encounter Christ together. At Barren Ridge Church, we see these opportunities not only as fun but as spiritual investments that strengthen families, grow faith, and reach others in the wider Augusta County community.
Whether you’re looking for a Christian fellowship church that nurtures your children’s faith or a place to reconnect through fellowship and service, these events are a meaningful way to start.
