These are the values that make us who we are.
OUR HISTORY
In 1956, the Rev. Dargan Lucas and a group from Shenandoah Heights Baptist Church intentionally started Wayne Hills Baptist Church as a church plant in the Wayne Hills area in Waynesboro. In those early days, they met in homes and a local elementary school. In 1957, the church moved to 222 Edward Avenue. Early growth resulted from an outreach focus on the Wayne Hills neighborhood.
Starting in the 1970s, WHBC became more of a regional church with outreach efforts extending to families outside the Wayne Hills area. This new growth trend continued from the 80’s onward and a majority of our members began driving from outlying areas into the Wayne Hills neighborhood for church. In 1996, the church purchased 40 acres just past the intersection of State Highway 340 and Interstate Highway 64 at 877 Ladd Road. We had an exciting groundbreaking ceremony on June 8th, 2003, and our first services were held at the new location on March 20th, 2005.
