Eagle Eyrie Lodge

 
Before Renovation
 
After Renovation
First Baptist owns one of the largest lodges at the Eagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center  located just west of Lynchburg, Virginia, on Route 501N. Click here to visit the Eagle Eyrie Web site and learn about how this conference center is used by Virginia Baptists. Of course, groups at our Church have first priority for use of the lodge. Contact Vickie Adkins for details.

Our lodge, which sleeps 30 people, had significant renovations in late 2007 and early 2008. Skilled craftsmen were used where necessary, but lots of the work was done by more than 40 volunteers from our Church. See the list of some of the work done below, and click
