Edge Hill Baptist Church was founded on October 10, 1854 after the order of the United Baptists of Virginia, in connection with the Roanoke Association. Rogers and John B. Hardwick. On March 21, 1857, Sarah J.C. Johns (nee Dillard, daughter of Lynn Dillard and Mildred Ward, and the widow of Edmund Johns) paid the sum of $1.00 and made a deed for the purpose of having a meeting place for Edge Hill
Baptist Church. The Church covenant was made and entered into at Edge Hill meeting house on January 31, 1874 by the members who comprised the Church called Edge Hill. Henry Worsham (1833-1911), son of Archibald Dunnavant Worsham and Dolly C. Bruce; Ulum Barker Simpson (1843-1916), son of Coleman Simpson and Sytha Lucas Hines; and Jack Moon, of the Pleasant Moon family also deeded land to the Church. In 1947, Sunday School rooms were added onto the Church, replacing the original curtain-partitioned class arrangement in the one-room building. In 1948, a central heating system was installed; and in 1958, the interior and exterior were remodeled. This renovation included the installation of stained glass windows as well as the addition of a vestibule and steeple. The Church was then encased in red brick. In 1981, chimes were installed in memory of Effie Moon. In September 1990, land was purchased from Beulan Vaughan (1912-2003), daughter of Thomas David Layne and Nannie Moon, and the widow of Willie Howard Vaughan, to provide additional cemetery space. A ramp and boxwoods were added a short time later. Other additions to the Church consisted of new carpeting, tile, hymnals and pew cushions. In 2003, an audio room was created in a portion of the existing vestibule. In 2004, new electronic chimes were installed in memory of Wayne Moon. During the 150th Anniversary Celebration, the church family committed to the future development of a Family Life Center. Edge Hill Baptist Church Pastors
