Created By: Abingdon Virginia Historic 360 Tours
The Episcopal Church in Virginia formed Holston Parish in 1841. The bounds of this parish included all of Washington County. Those early worshipers met at the courthouse, organized themselves and formed a congregation which they named in honor of the New Testament saint and apostle Thomas. The first building was consecrated by Bishop John Johns on October 22, 1846.
