Glade Church
Blacksburg, Virginia
We are a caring faith community, open and affirming, in the free church tradition
where worship is central and diversity is celebrated.

Glade Church is committed to engaging all of the
senses in worship.
Because we believe that art offers the worshiper a means to creatively explore an encounter with the Holy, our sanctuary houses one of the area's premier fine arts galleries.
Local artists contribute their original art -- from sculpture to paintings, weaving to photography -- to interpret a variety of gallery themes throughout the church year.
Our gallery is open during all worship services and upon request.
To inquire about exhibiting your work or to join our mailing list of fine arts events, call the church office at 540-552-3394. All sales of art are between the buyer and the artist.
Take the gallery home . . .
In 2000, Glade Church received a grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship with funds provided by The Lilly Foundation, which were directed to enhance the worship of God through the arts.
A video commemorating our grant year was produced by church member Scott Dunn. This video documents the history of our gallery using art in worship and includes images from other fine arts events held at Glade Church.
To request a copy of the video, submit $20, designated "video," to Glade Church.
