Rural Churches Grow Steadily in Virginia
In Virginia rural churches show steady growth despite a slight decline in farm population. C H Hamilton of Virginia Tech cites higher church membership and a 45 percent proportion in 1926, with a ten percent rise in church numbers since Good Roads Great Aid. He predicts future consolidations among small rural churches and urges denominational cooperation to reduce duplication and boost financing in poor counties. The rural church is seen as a spiritual and community power, linking with health welfare and agricultural agencies and guiding youth recreation and training.
