THE HISTORY OF FULP MORAVIAN CHURCH
Fulp Moravian Church began as a Sunday School on May 14, 1893, led by Brother James T. Lineback at a meeting place known as Fulp’s Schoolhouse. Twenty‑eight people attended the first Sunday, and thirty more joined on the second Sunday. Brother Lineback traveled on the Norfolk and Western train to Walnut Cove each Saturday and spent the evening teaching songs that would be sung in Sunday School the next day.
The church was organized after Dr. Elias Fulp promised land for a church and graveyard. Before the congregation was officially formed, Brothers James T. Lineback, Woosley, and C. D. Couch held a series of evangelistic services. On November 11, 1893, Brother Woosley received 12 charter members into Fulp Moravian Church—seven by adult baptism, one by confirmation, and four by letter of transfer from other churches. The first services were held in a brush arbor built in front of the schoolhouse, which could seat about 350 people.
The first church building measured 30 by 50 feet and included a rear annex for primary classes. The cornerstone was laid on August 9, 1894, and the building was finished and consecrated on October 28, 1894. Dr. Elias Fulp supervised the construction. The total cost was about $1,000, with $495 given by members and friends of the Fulp congregation. The graveyard, known as God’s Acre, was consecrated after the first funeral, for Sister Melissa E. Powell, on December 4, 1894.
For the first 74 years, Fulp Moravian Church shared pastors with other congregations. In 1967, the church decided to call its own full‑time pastor, the Reverend John Fry. To raise money for a down payment on a parsonage, members grew several fields of tobacco. The parsonage was built and dedicated on July 23, 1967. In 1972, the church took a major step of faith by purchasing and erecting the Fellowship Hall. Much of the building material was salvaged from a structure in High Point, North Carolina, then transported to the church’s current location. The Fellowship Hall was completed enough to be consecrated on November 12, 1972, in time for Fulp’s 79th anniversary. These buildings represent many hours and weeks of work and sacrifice by the faithful members of Fulp Moravian Church.
In the 1980s, the church expanded again, adding new offices and bathrooms, a choir room, a parlor, and a new choir loft to the existing sanctuary. In November 1993, Fulp Moravian Church celebrated its 100th anniversary of God’s work in the community.
FULP MORAVIAN CHURCH TODAY
The Moravian Church, also known as Unitas Fratrum (Unity of the Brethren), has been officially known by this name since 1457 and is recognized as the oldest Protestant denomination. We are an evangelical Protestant church committed to serving Jesus Christ in the world. The Bible, our love for Jesus, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit are essential to Christian life. Moravians emphasize faith as a matter of the heart more than the head, focusing on a personal experience of God’s love rather than abstract doctrinal debate. Our church practices a simple but meaningful approach to faith and daily life, highlighting Christian faith, hope, and love. Our identity is as Christians—followers of Christ—who are connected with the Moravian Church as a way of living out and expressing our Christian faith. We are Christians first, then Moravians.
Although the Moravian Church has its own rich history, we do not see any distinction between ourselves and all who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.
People of every age, men and women alike, who are led by the Holy Spirit are invited to join our fellowship of believers. We encourage everyone to use their spiritual gifts and talents to deepen their relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, to share in fellowship with other believers, and to help spread the Gospel of Christ’s salvation to others. Welcome to what has often been called the “Church of the Heart.”
