We are a small church but are very active in the community and participate in a wide variety of activities. Located in the small town of Beckleysville, St. Abrahams was once called Shavers Church or Abrahams Church. The country ministry was an important part of the community of Beckleysville, which by 1875 was a thriving town with a population of 400 due to the Beckley Paper Mill.
